Chemical Bonding
by Aaliyah Carter
1. Ionic Bond
1.1. the electronegativity difference between the bonded atoms is small or nonexistent
2. Covalent bonds
2.1. electrostatic interaction between atoms which have a large electronegativity difference
3. Hypervalent Bonding
3.1. there exists bonds which have significant non-bonding ionic quality to them
4. Metallic Bonding
4.1. bonding electrons are delocalized over a lattice of atoms
