3 types of Chemical bonds

CH2 A

Ionic bonds

the transfer of electrons; gain or lose to become charged (protons do not equal electrons)

Anion (reduced)

negative charge (gain)

Cation (oxidized)

positive charge (lost)

Covalent bonds

Sharing 2 or more electron

nonpolar covalent

equally sharing if electrons

poplar covalent

unequal sharing of electrons (creating electronegativity)

dipole

2 different charges

hydrogen bonds

Weak forces between electropositive hydrogens
