Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons between atoms, forming ions, while hydrogen bonds involve electrostatic attraction between polar molecules that do not share or transfer electrons. Polar covalent bonds result from unequal sharing of electrons between atoms, causing a partial positive and negative charge, whereas non-polar covalent bonds share electrons equally without charge separation. Electrostatic attractions involve long-range interactions between permanent or induced charges, and van der Waals attractions are weaker interactions between permanent or induced molecular dipoles or induced dipoles.

1. 6. Compare & Contrast the following types of chemicals bonds/interactions:
[How are they similar? How do they differ? [TIP: A Venn diagram is a good way to Compare
and Contrast two things with overlapping similarities and non-overlapping distinctions. For
example, both ionic and hydrogen bonds involve electrostatic attractions (The term electrostatic
attractions would be in the Venn diagram overlap). However, ionic bonds involve a transfer of
electrons, while in a hydrogen bond, electrons are neither transferred nor shared.
