Explain the 2 types of chemical bonding
Answers
two types of chemical bonds are :
1.ionic
2.covalent
Here it is....
(1) Ionic Bond
(2) Covalent Bond
☘ Ionic bonds
Sometimes, atoms achieve greater stability by gaining or losing one or several electrons. In such a scenario, atoms make ions or particles that are charged. The gaining or losing of an electron or several electrons can lead to a filled outermost electron shell of the atom thereby making it more stable energetically.
☘ Covalent bonds are formed when atoms share electrons (instead of gaining or losing them) to become more steady. When atoms share one, two or three pairs of electrons between themselves, it results in single, double or triple bonds respectively. The strength of the bond depends on the number of electrons that are shared between two atoms. More the number of electrons shared between two atoms, the stronger the bond between them. Covalent bonds are more commonly found in the molecules of all living organisms and also in smaller inorganic molecules like H2O, CO2, and O2. The structure of carbon-based organic molecules like our DNA and proteins also rely on Covalent bonds.
Covalent bonds can further be classified into Polar Covalent Bonds and Non-Polar Covalent Bonds.
