- Ionic bonding occurs between a metal and a non-metal, involving the transfer of electrons
- Covalent bonding takes place between two non-metals, sharing electrons to gain a full outer shell
- Coordinate bonding involves both electrons in the shared pair being supplied from the same atom
- Electronegativity varies for each atom, with fluorine, oxygen, and nitrogen being the most electronegative
- Permanent dipole occurs when there are large differences in electronegativity between two covalently bonded atoms
