Chemical Bonding

Molecules found in nature as single atom elements

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

Types of elements that can exist in monatomic form: alkali metals, transition metals, halogens, noble gases.

Types of elements that can exist in nature as diatomic molecules: alkali metals, transition metals, halogens, noble gases.

Why do bonds form?

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?

What type of bond is illustrated above?

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

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

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