Electronegativity.
A chemical bond is the energy that holds two atoms together in a compound. This energy can be further broken down into ionic bonding and covalent bonding. An ionic bond is a chemical bond characterized by attraction between ions of opposite charge. The formation of an ionic bond involves a complete transfer of electrons between atoms, and can be predicted when one atom has a much higher electronegativity than the other. A covalent bond is …showed first 75 words of 362 total…

…showed last 75 words of 362 total…sometimes described as "dipoles", meaning that the molecule has two "poles". One end of the molecule has a partial positive charge while the other end has a partial negative charge. The hydrogen bond is really a type of dipole forces. A hydrogen bond is the attractive force between the hydrogen attached to an electronegative atom of one molecule and an electronegative atom of a different molecule. Usually the electronegative atom is oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine.
