Question
there are three major types of bonds: ionic, covalent, and hydrogen. which of the following subatomic particles are responsible for creating the different types of bonds? protons neutrons electrons
Ionic bonds form through the transfer of electrons between atoms, covalent bonds form by the sharing of electrons, and hydrogen - bonds are a result of the attraction between a hydrogen atom bonded to an electronegative atom and another electronegative atom. Electrons are involved in all these bonding processes. Protons are in the nucleus and mainly determine the atomic number, and neutrons contribute to the atomic mass and nuclear stability, not directly to bonding.
