Match the descriptions with the types of bonds listed (Covalent; Hydrogen; Ionic)

a. atoms lose electrons if they have just one or two electrons in their valence shells; they gain electrons if they need just one or two electrons to complete the valence shell as in K+CL- __Ionic bonds_
b. This bond is bridge-like; weak link between a hydrogen atom and another atom such as oxygen or nitrogen __hydrogen bond__
c. a pair of electrons is shared in this type of bond __covalent__
