Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the types of chemical bonds listed: metallic bond, covalent bond, hydrogen bond, and ionic bond.
Understand that a covalent bond is a type of chemical bond where two atoms share one or more pairs of valence electrons.
Recognize that in a metallic bond, electrons are not shared between specific atoms but are instead delocalized across a lattice of metal atoms.
Note that a hydrogen bond is a type of weak interaction that occurs between a hydrogen atom covalently bonded to a more electronegative atom and another electronegative atom.
Understand that an ionic bond involves the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, resulting in the formation of oppositely charged ions that attract each other.
