Question

Three types of molecular bonds? Give examples of these bonds in our daily life. Discuss why each of these bonds is important to maintaining life?

Answer 1

Ionic bond

Covalent bond

Metallic bond

These three bonds occurred when the electrons are shared or transferred from one atom to another .

This is based on an electronegativity difference.

In daily life we see salt is made up of Ionic bond where sodium and chloride are oppositely charged so they share an electron from sodium to chlorine there ionic bond occurs.

Likewise water and diamond are made up of covalent which is the strongest and electrons are mutually shared between atoms. Then copper is an example for metallic bond Where also electrons shared.
