Can you describe ionic bonds, covalent bonds and hydrogen bonds?

Answer by  DogLady85 (171)

Covalent bonds - two atoms share the same electrons and are tightly bonded. Ionic bonding - one atom gives up electrons to the other and they just hang out near each other. Hydrogen bonds - attractive forces between polar molecules (not atoms)

In ionic bonding, electrons are completely transferred from one atom to another. Covalent bonding occurs when two (or more) elements share electrons. The atoms in the compound have a similar tendency to gain electrons. Hydrogen bonding is a weak bonding between a hydrogen atom and an electronegative atom.
