Verified step by step guidance1
Begin by understanding the types of chemical bonds: Ionic, Covalent, Hydrogen, and Metallic.
Ionic bonds occur between atoms with opposite charges, typically between metals and nonmetals. This involves the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, resulting in positively and negatively charged ions.
Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms, usually between nonmetals, to achieve a full outer electron shell.
Hydrogen bonds are weak attractions between a hydrogen atom covalently bonded to an electronegative atom and another electronegative atom.
Metallic bonds involve the attraction between free-floating valence electrons and positively charged metal ions, creating a 'sea of electrons' that allows metals to conduct electricity.
