Know the difference between the different types of bonds. -polar covalent -ionic -hydrogen -single (nonpolar) covalent -Hydrophobic effect

Polar Covalent- type of chemical bond where a pair of electrons is unequally shared between two atoms. Ionic- the complete transfer of valence electron(s) between atoms. It is a type of chemical bond that generates two oppositely charged ions. Hydrogen- a weak bond between two molecules resulting from an electrostatic attraction between a proton in one molecule and an electronegative atom in the other. Covalent- a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms. Hydrophobic Effect- The tendency of nonpolar molecules in a polar solvent (usually water) to interact with one another is called the hydrophobic effect.
