Chemical Bonding Review

Front

What type of bond is present in a pickle that allows it to conduct electricity?

Back

Ionic bond.

Front

Why are ionic compounds good conductors of electricity while covalent compounds are poor conductors?

Back

Ionic compounds form charged particles in solution, allowing electricity to flow.

Front

What is the correct name for the covalent compound N2S?

Back

Dinitrogen monosulfide.

Front

Do covalent bonds like H2O, Cl2, and NH3 require high temperatures to melt?

Back

No, they have weaker forces holding them together.

Front

How is a covalent molecule formed?

Back

When an atom of an element with atomic number 9 reacts with a sulfur atom.

Front

What is the definition of an ionic bond?

Back

An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond formed through the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions.

Front

What are the characteristics of ionic compounds?

Back

Ionic compounds typically have high melting and boiling points, are soluble in water, and conduct electricity when dissolved.

Front

What is a covalent bond?

Back

A covalent bond is a type of chemical bond where two atoms share one or more pairs of electrons.

Front

What are the properties of covalent compounds?

Back

Covalent compounds usually have lower melting and boiling points, are often not soluble in water, and do not conduct electricity.

Front

What is the significance of atomic number in chemical bonding?

Back

The atomic number determines the number of protons in an atom, which influences its reactivity and the type of bonds it can form.
