The type of chemical bonds for lipids are nonpolar C-H bonds. The actual bonds that attach the fatty acids to the glycerol are refered to as ester linkages
Lipids Lipids
Type of bonding between elements in a compound chemical-chemically is chemical bonding.
Covalent Bonding
No they are not. Triglycerids are type of lipids
Covalent bonding is formed when atoms share electrons. In this type of bonding, atoms share one or more pairs of electrons to achieve a more stable electron configuration.
Hydrogen bonding in lipids helps maintain the structural integrity of lipid molecules, promoting stability and organization within cell membranes. It also facilitates interactions between lipids and other molecules, influencing properties such as solubility and fluidity.

Lipids Lipids
covalent bonding
Water forms hydrogen bonds with most substances except for lipids. Lipids are nonpolar molecules, so they do not interact with water through hydrogen bonding. This is why lipids are hydrophobic and do not mix well with water.
Type of bonding between elements in a compound chemical-chemically is chemical bonding.
The type of bonding that is more dominant in solids depends on the specific material. Examples of dominant bonding types in solids include covalent bonding in diamond, metallic bonding in metals, and ionic bonding in salt.
general bonding
it has covalent bonding
The exception to the monomer/polymer rule is lipids. Lipid base units are not considered monomers. One type of lipid or fat is made up of fatty acids and glycerol molecules in a 3:1 ratio. The bonding of three fatty acids to one glycerol molecule creates a triglyceride.
Hydrogen bonding is a type of intermolecular force of attractionAdded:This is between molecules.It is not as strong as chemical bonding within molecules (intramolecular) though.
