Verified step by step guidance

Begin by understanding the nature of chemical bonds. Chemical bonds can be broadly categorized into covalent bonds, ionic bonds, and non-covalent interactions.

Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electron pairs between atoms. They can be polar or non-polar depending on the electronegativity difference between the atoms involved.

Ionic bonds are formed when electrons are transferred from one atom to another, resulting in the formation of charged ions that attract each other.

Non-covalent interactions include hydrogen bonds, Van der Waals forces, and electrostatic interactions. These are generally weaker than covalent and ionic bonds.

Van der Waals forces are weak non-covalent interactions that occur due to transient dipoles in molecules. They are considered very weak compared to other types of chemical bonds.
