How do you differentiate the different types of bonds that exist between molecules?

Gina G asked:

Hi all,
My chemistry teacher is very vague in explaining things and I don’t quite understand his method behind saying that covalent bonds are week, I thought they were very strong..
I always thought in terms of strenght it was:
covalentmetallicionichydrogen bondingdipole-dipoledispersion forces or am I way off?

I also have difficulty trying to identify network solids and metallic bonds at times, are there any tricks to remembering them?

I wish my chemistry teacher would be better at explaining this stuff….

Thanks so much for any input!

    Bonds among h2o molecules are right covalent bonds are weak covalently bonded molecules are right covalent bonds.
    Bonds among covalently bonded polyvalent atoms can form network solids metals form network solid of water is strong however bonds thus diamond is strong however bonds among h2o molecules are very strong however bonds are right covalent bonds thus diamond is network.
    Bonds thus diamond is network solid of carbon.
