1. The monomers might start with different bonds, like hydrogen or ionic bonds . 2. Read ionic bond # Ionic versus covalent bonds for a brief explanation. 3. Experimental studies indicate that the LiO 2 molecule contains highly ionic bonds . 4. :There's no black-and-white difference between covalent and ionic bonds , it's a sliding scale. 5. Ionic bonds may be seen as extreme examples of polarization in covalent bonds.6. What about other bonds-like the ionic bond -in the case of chemistry? 7. So they make a strong ionic bond in between them to form nucleosome. 8. Unlike pure ionic bonds , covalent bonds may have directed anisotropic properties. 9. This makes it stronger than a covalent or ionic bonds . 10. In the case of aluminium iodide an ionic bond with much covalent character is present.
