C
Hydrogen bond
D
Covalent bond
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the types of chemical bonds: Ionic, Covalent, Metallic, and Hydrogen bonds.
Understand that an ionic bond is formed when electrons are transferred from one atom to another, resulting in oppositely charged ions that attract each other.
Recognize that a metallic bond involves the sharing of free electrons among a lattice of metal atoms.
Note that a hydrogen bond is a weak interaction between a hydrogen atom bonded to a more electronegative atom and another electronegative atom.
Conclude that a covalent bond is formed when two atoms share electrons to achieve a full outer shell, resulting in a stable molecule.
