Covalent - equal sharing of generally one pair of electrons (e.g. H2 hydrogen molecule)

Polar covalent- ubequal sharing - the more electronegative element "attracts " the electrons in the bond towards it causing the formation of a small negative charge (and a small compensating positive charge on the less electronegative atom) example HCl, hydrogen chloride molecule

A hydrogen bond is a weak electrostatic bond invoving a hydrogen atom covakently bonded to one atom attracted to a very electrnegative atom. (Example is water, H2O)

Is Hydrogen sulfide covalent or ionic?

It is covalent due to the small electronegativity difference between hydrogen and sulfur.


Does water have both ionic and covalent bonds?

Water molecules have covalent bonds between the oxygen and hydrogen atoms within the molecule. However, water molecules can also form hydrogen bonds with each other due to the difference in electronegativity between oxygen and hydrogen atoms. These hydrogen bonds are not considered ionic bonds.


Does hydrogen fluoride have covalent bonds?

Yes, hydrogen fluoride has covalent bonds. In hydrogen fluoride (HF), hydrogen shares an electron with fluorine to form a covalent bond, where the electron is shared between the two atoms. This sharing of electrons is characteristic of covalent bonds.


What type of chemical bond is carbon and hydrogen?

Carbon and Hydrogen bonds together with covalent bonds, as in CH4.


What are the four types of chemical bonds?

Ionic Bonds-form when two atoms have a large difference in electronegativity. Covalent Bonds-form when two atoms have a very small difference in electronegativity. Polar Covalent Bonds- form when two elements bond with a moderate difference in electronegativity. Fall between ionic and covalent. Metallic Bonds-form in and between metals


What type of bonds does Ch3Oh have?

CH3OH, or methanol, has covalent bonds. Specifically, it contains polar covalent bonds between carbon and oxygen, carbon and hydrogen, and oxygen and hydrogen atoms. These bonds are formed by the sharing of electrons between atoms.


What are three types of chemical bonds found in living things?

Three types of chemical bonds found in living things are ionic bonds, covalent bonds, and hydrogen bonds. Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons between atoms, covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms, and hydrogen bonds involve the attraction between a slightly positive hydrogen atom and a slightly negative atom.


Covalent bonds are weaker than the hydrogen bonds used to hold water molecules together.?

No, hydrogen bonds are weaker than the covalent O-H bonds.


What is the differace between covalent and hydrogen bonds?

Covalent bonds share electrons but hydrogen bonds don't. The latter is a special incident of dipole attractions.


In what ways are covalent and hydrogen bonds similar?

Covalent and hydrogen bonds are similar in that they both involve the sharing of electrons between atoms.


How many covalent bonds does water have?

Water molecules have two simple covalent bonds between one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms. Covalent bonds are also known as organic bonds.


Can HF hydrogen bond?

Yes, hydrogen fluoride (HF) can form hydrogen bonds. Hydrogen fluoride molecules have polar covalent bonds due to the electronegativity difference between hydrogen and fluorine, allowing hydrogen to form hydrogen bonds with other electronegative atoms.
