Types of chemical bonds with characteristics, a.ionic bond, b.covalent bond, c.coordinate covalent bond

Types of Chemical Bonds:

a. Ionic Bond:

  • An ionic bond is formed between two ions of opposite charge. This bond is characterized by the transfer of electrons from one atom to another.

b. Covalent Bond: 

  • A covalent bond is formed when two atoms share electrons. 
  • This bond is characterized by the sharing of electrons between the two atoms.

c. Coordinate Covalent Bond:

  •  A coordinate covalent bond, also known as a dative bond, is formed when one atom provides both electrons in the bond. 
  • This bond is characterized by the asymmetric sharing of electrons.
