Bonding is all about those electronsWhether we are talking about ionic, polar covalent, nonpolar covalent, coordinate covalent, network covalent, it simply doesn't matter. The type of bonding present is determined by the way the bonding electrons of the involved elements interact with the nuclei that are present.
Even when discussing intermolecular forces, IMF's, the type of van der Waals force to be considered most important is a result of the relative distributions of electrons within the substance being discussed.
