Covalent Bond (Molecular Bond)- when atoms bond together by sharing electrons
Polar Bond-slightly ionic bonds
Hydrogen Bond- when a hydrogen atom is covalently bound to a highly electronegative atom (larger atom)
Ionic Bond- complete transfer of valence electrons between atoms
Hope this helps. I can simplify these down more if need be.
