The Three bonds

Their are the ionic bonds, covalent bonds, and polarcovalent bonds.



Ionic Bonds occur between metalic and non metalic elements of low or high elecronegativity.

Example:Calcium sulfide. all electrons shared in an Ionic bond



Covalent bonds occur when atoms with partially full outer energy layers share electrons.

electrons with similar negativity sharing electrons. Example: Carbon bonding into diamond



polarcovalent bonds occur when atoms differ significantly in electonegativity

water is an example. Water causes other particles to disperse in it and dissolve. This is because water has both a very negative and a very possitive particle, causing substances to dissolve and separate when in the water because they are attracted to the charge opposite them.

  1. I would just like to say this was a good post, but I disagree on your final bond being a polar covalent bond because through my research I found it to be a subtype for a covalent bond. If you do futher research you may be able to find another type of bond does exist for metals.
