Ionic and covalent bonds are both chemical bonds formed by either sharing or transferring electrons.

Hydrogen bonds are technically not a kind of chemical bond but a kind of intermolecular attraction between polar molecules in which hydrogen is bonded to one of the very electronegative elements nitrogen, oxygen, or fluorine.

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.


What is the order from strongest to weakest bond of covalent and hydrogen and ionic?

If a single bond from each is considered, hydrogen bond < covalent bond < ionic bond But when a structure of a compound is considered, this may be different. Though diamond has only covalent bonds, it is among the substances with highest melting points.


Is hydrogen a special form of a ionic bond?

Hydrogen is an element, not a bond. It can form bonds, which are usually covalent, but an ionic bond with hydrogen is possible, for example, lithium hydride is an ionic compound. While this, like every compound, does have its own distinctive features, I would not call it a special form of ionic bond.


Can hydrogen be found in ionic and covalent bonds?

Yes, hydrogen can be found in both ionic and covalent bonds. In ionic bonds, hydrogen typically forms ions, such as H+ or H-. In covalent bonds, hydrogen shares electrons with other elements to form molecules, such as in water (H2O) or methane (CH4).


Are ionic covalent and hydrogen bonds all types of molecular bonds?

Covalent bonds form molecules where ionic bonds form ionic lattices. Hydrogen bonds are a form of intermolecular bonds which are formed with the participation of polar hydrogen atoms which are attached to either nitrogen, oxygen or fluorine.
