Definitions:

Hydrogen Bonds

Weak bonds between a hydrogen atom in one molecule and an electronegative atom in another, crucial for the structure of many biological molecules.

Nonpolar Covalent

Nonpolar Covalent bonds are chemical bonds where two atoms share a pair of electrons equally, resulting in molecules that have no overall dipole moment.

Polar Covalent

A type of chemical bond where electrons are unequally shared between atoms, leading to a distribution of charge.

Proton Acceptor

A substance that receives hydrogen ions in a chemical reaction.
