A chemical bond is an attraction between atoms that allows the formation


of chemicalsubstances that contain two or more atoms. Thebond is caused by the electrostatic
force of attraction between opposite charges, either between electrons and nuclei, or as the
result of a dipole attraction.
Lewis structures (also known as Lewis dot diagrams, electron dot diagrams,Lewis dot
formulas, Lewis dot structures, and electron dot structures) are diagrams that show
the bonding between atoms of a molecule and the lone pairs ofelectrons that may exist in the
molecule
An ionic bond is formed by the attraction of oppositely charged atoms or groups of
atoms.
A covalent chemical bond results from the sharing of electrons between two atoms
with similar electronegativities A single covalent bond represent the sharing of two
valence electrons (usually from two different atoms).
two hydrogen atoms in a H2 molecule.
Double Covalent Bond

Triple Covalent Bond

This is a polar covalent bond.

coordinate covalent bond (also called a dative bond) is formed when one atom
donates both of the electrons to form a single covalent bond. These electrons
originate from the donor atom as an unshared pair.
