Chemical Bonding

Front

Molecules found in nature as single atom elements

Back

monatomic

Front

Molecules found in nature as pairs of two atoms of the same type covalently bonded together.

Front

Why do bonds form?

Back

To fill the valence shell of electrons for the elements involved

Front

A substance which has a high melting point, conducts electricity when dissolved in water, and has a crystalline structure probably has what type of bond?

Back

Ionic

Front

What type of bond is illustrated above?

Back

Metallic

Front

A solid substance is an excellent conductor of electricity. The chemical bonds in this substance are most likely?

Back

metallic, because the valence electrons are mobile

Front

A mixture of two or more elements at least one of which is a metal is called

Back

an alloy

Front

Bonds formed by transferring electrons from one atom to another are: ionic, metallic, non polar covalent, covalent
