Hydrogen bonds, as well as the other types of noncovalent interactions, are very important in terms of the binding of a ligand to a protein. In section 1.3, we saw a 'space-filling' picture of an enzyme with its substrate bound in its active site.
Na is a metal, and Cl is a nonmetal, so you have an ionic compound when they form. As for covalent bonds, they take place between two nonmetals ONLY. For example, you have carbon dioxide (later you will learn why you have to put di-in front of oxide).luminium oxide Al2O3 is ionic because of the presence of the metal ion, Al3+ and non-metal ion O2-. Methane CH4 is covalent as all the elements in it are non-metals. It has carbon and hydrogen, both of them are non-metals.
