Ionic bonds: are bonds that transfer electrons between atoms that have opposite charges.
polar covalent bonds: These are bonds that form when atoms unequally share the electrons and are attracted more to one nucleus than the other.
non-polar covalent bonds: These are bonds that form between two atoms of the same element or between elements that share electrons equally.
hydrogen bonds: This is a weak interaction that occurs regularly between water molecules.
