covalent bond
chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms
polar bond
chemical bond in which electrons are more strongly attached to one of the atoms
peptide bond
covalent chemical bond linking two consecutive amino acid monomers along a peptide or protein chain
symmetric hydrogen bond
chemical bond with a hydrogen halfway between two identical atoms
delta bond
type of chemical bond
glycosidic bond
covalent bond joining a sugar molecule to another group
pi bond
type of covalent chemical bond
multiple bond
covalent bond in which the same atoms share more than 2 net bonding electrons
three-center four-electron bond
covalent bond involving 4 electrons shared among 3 atoms
phi bond
type of chemical bond
sigma bond
strongest type of covalent chemical bond; formed by head-on overlapping between atomic orbitals.
coordinate covalent bond
covalent bond in a coordination complex in which the shared electrons are donated by one of the atoms and also known as dative bond
single bond
chemical bond between two atoms involving two valence electrons (atoms share one pair of electrons where the bond forms, therefore, a single bond is a type of covalent bond); usually a sigma bond
