Front

What distinguishes a metallic bond from ionic and covalent bonds?

Back

The mobility of electrons.

Front

Which element has metallic bonds at room temperature?

Back

Cesium.

Front

What type of bonds are formed when electrons are transferred from a metal to a nonmetal?

Back

Ionic bonds.

Front

What is the melting point of substances with ionic bonds?

Back

High melting point.

Front

What happens to metallic atoms when they combine with nonmetallic atoms?

Back

They lose electrons and form positive ions.

Front

What is a characteristic of ionic compounds?

Back

They typically have high melting and boiling points.

Front

What is a non-polar molecule?

Back

A molecule with an even distribution of charge, resulting in no dipole moment.

Front

What is the electron-dot structure used for?

Back

To represent the valence electrons of an atom.

Front

What is the difference between covalent and ionic bonds?

Back

Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons, while ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons.

Front

What is a common property of metals?

Back

They are good conductors of heat and electricity.
