The Chemical Bond: Covalent vs. Ionic and Polar vs. Nonpolar

Ionic Bond, Covalent Bond, James Bond, so many bonds! What dictates which kind of bond will form? Electronegativity values, of course. Let's go through each type and what they're all about.

Check out "Is This Wi-Fi Organic?", my book on disarming pseudoscience!

It's great how you can help me understand concepts in 3 minutes that my professor can't do in 3 hours. Thanks Dave. Everyone should share a little of same and click on his advertisements.

stop scrolling in the comments and pay attention you need to do well on your test

In the intro he looks so happy and when he is explaining he looks so serious

I got more out of this than I did in a one hour lecture. You are the man, brother.

[mellysalazar]

It's cool how after 5 years, his videos are much more easier to understand than hours of lecture in schools and universities. And he also replies to comments too!

[JoshWall]

After watching so many videos on the same topic this was by far the most helpful! THANKS!

I was depressed over my performance in Chemistry class for my first college semester, and was thinking of switching programs. Found your videos, and I can perfectly understand the subject on the first viewing. Your videos have saved me from failing my Chemistry course.

Great video, I am cramming for a chem exam with your videos

[aaronchang]

Everything you say is so much simpler and easy to understand than my professors. Keep up the good work!

In these 4 years of studying chemistry nobody explained me the difference between covalent bond and ionic bond 😢😥. Even academic videos are not explaining them. First time I understood perfectly the concept. Thank you so much professor DAVE!! 😁😁😄

What chemical reaction happens between an electronegativity of 1.7 to 2?

[vsc_]

What about electronegativity difference between two atoms is between 1.7 and 20.0

"It's bond, Ionic bond; electrons taken, not shared." Is at once a pop-culture reference, a haiku, a factual statement, a profound truth, and a useful mnemonic device. I have this knowledge forever now.

ive been learning this for the last 3 hours and i couldnt figure the heck out what i was doing---thanks for making this easier in 3 minutes

[shinki]

Your video series about chemistry is a lot easier to digest than Crash Course in my opinion, while I do love their videos this was a lot better for me to renew some of my chemistry knowledge.
Keep up the good work!

[jomsnow]

love absolutely everything on your channel, nothing is ever convoluted and also so easy to understand!! thank you chemistry jesus <3

[Exochosen]

So what if the difference is between 1.7 and 2.0?

[michaelzumpano]

The clearest most concise explanation I’ve heard on the topic! Great job Dave.

[TheresNothingToSee]

I laughed so hard at the James Bond reference. It made me remember how an ionic bond is. I find it very easy to learn while amused. Thank you for your video!
(P.S. I have this science report due in two days about Bond Polarity and Physical Properties. This video helped A LOT)

even if this video was posted 8 years ago it still saved my life
