A type of chemical bond where one or more electrons are transferred from one atom to another, resulting in cations and anions which are held together by electrostatic forces.

A chemical bond where atoms share one or more pairs of valence electrons to achieve a full outer shell, resulting in molecules.

A bond found in metals, where there is a sea of shared free-floating valence electrons around positively charged metal ions.

An intermolecular attraction between a hydrogen atom, which is bound to a highly electronegative atom, and another electronegative atom with a lone pair of electrons.

A covalent bond in which only one pair of electrons is shared between atoms.

A covalent bond in which two pairs of electrons are shared between two atoms.

A covalent bond where three pairs of electrons are shared between two atoms.

A covalent bond where both electrons in the shared pair come from the same atom.

A type of covalent bond where electrons are shared unequally between two atoms due to a difference in their electronegativities, resulting in a dipole.

A covalent bond where electrons are shared equally between two atoms with similar electronegativities, resulting in no permanent dipole.

A covalent bond formed by the side-to-side overlap of two atomic orbitals that supplies the second or third bond in double and triple bonds, respectively.

A covalent bond formed by the direct overlap of two atomic orbitals along the inter-nuclear axis.

An intermolecular force between two polar molecules, where positive end of one molecule attracts the negative end of another molecule.

A weak intermolecular force arising from induced temporary dipoles in otherwise nonpolar molecules.
