Bond TypeGenerally Formed BetweenBond Formed ByProperties Associated with bond typeExample of substances Utilizing bonf type
CovalentAtoms of non-metallic elements of similar electronegativitySharing of electron pairsStable non ionizing molecules-not conductors of electricity in any ohaseC2H5
IonicAtoms of metallic and non-metallic elements of wide.y different electronegativitiesElec. attraction between ions resulting from transfer of electrons fron one to anotherCharged ions in gas liwuid and soid. Sokid is electrically non- sonducting. Gas and liquid are condustorsNaCl, K2O, BaS, LiH
MetallicAtoms of metallic elementsCommon exchange of outer electrons between atons of low electronegativityElectrical conductors in all ohases, lusterNa, Au, Cu. Zn
DipolePolar covalent moleculesElectrical attraction between dioples resulting from polar bondsSubstances have higher boiling and melting points than those having non-polar molesules of similar sizeICl, SO2
HydrogenMolecules having hydrogen attached to atim of high electronegativityAttraction of exposed proton to electronegative atom in neigh boring moleculesubstances have mush higher boiling and melting points than those having non-polar molecules of similar sizeH2O, HF
Dispersion ForcesNon polar moleculesWeak electrical fluctuations which destroy spherical symmetry of electronic fields about atomsSubstanve have soft crustals and comparaticeley low melting and boiling pointsHe, Ar, Cl2,CH4

The above are general nrules which are useful BUT there are exceptions.

Nonpolar molecules like CH4, CCl4, etc are placed with the London forces because of their shapes, they are nonpolar and have no dipolar forces. As the molar mass increases, so does the attraction (easier to induce a dipole) therefore their melting points also tend to rise.
