Explain why most chemical bonds would be classified as either polar or covalent or ionic.

There are 3 type of chemical bonds:

1) ionic (formed when atoms gain or lose electron and ion pairs come together to for neutral clusters)

2) covalent (formed as a result of sharing of electron between atoms - the most common type of bond)

and

3) metallic (the type of bonding that metals have where electrons are pooled together into a mass that are shared collectively by the mass)

there is no such thing as a polar chemical bond - it is simply too weak to hold a substance together as a compound.

All chemistry is a reorganization of electrons between two or more atoms. We take most common two atoms
There are two main types of bounding remembering the "octet rule" A molecule is stable than allatoms have 8 electrons on the outer shell? To achieve this

1) IONIC BOUND one atome gives an electron to an other ?The atom which loses an electron is a positive ion, the one which gains one electron is a negative ion

2) COVALENT one pair of electrons are shared in common by both atoms
There are two cases
a) the two atoms are vey simmilar so the boundinbg is equal and there is no polar bound example molecule H2 between same hyfrogens

second cases the atoms have different electric properties and one atom shares more the pair of electros giving a partial electric negative charge to one atom and a positive to the other ex in gas Molecule HCl CL is negative relative to H

I'm not sure what you are asking. Are you asking which of the three is the most common?

because when substances chemically combine they share electrons and cannot be broken up
