Chemical bond:
Covalent bonds
Non-covalent bonds:
Ionic - Hydrogen - Hydrophobic - Van der waals bonds
The Covalent bond:
Double bond
Triple bond N
Covalent bonding occurs by a sharing of valence electrons: Examples of covalent bonding:
Types of covalent bonds:
Non-polar covalent bond.
polar covalent bond.
Non-polar covalent bond
Example
Covalent bonds that are formed between identical atoms, as in oxygen gas (O 2 ) and hydrogen gas (H 2 ), Cl 2
[Since the electrons are equally shared between the two identical atoms, these molecules are said to be nonpolar and the bonds between them are nonpolar covalent bonds].
Example
Na Cl Na = 0.9, Cl = 3.
Difference in electronegativity ( Δ EN) is 2. 1 , so
this is an ionic bond
