Chemical Bonds
Important: The GREATER the Electronegative Difference
the GREATER the Bond Strength
Ionic Bonds
Covalent Bonds
Metallic Bonds
Covalent Bonds form between atoms with

Note:
POLYATOMICS are COVALENTLY BONDED
Molecules and Diatomics are Covalent Bonds
but they still possess a charge so they are
considered IONIC BONDS
