Bonding Test

Front

What is a molecular compound?

Back

A molecular compound is a chemical compound formed by the covalent bonding of two or more nonmetals, resulting in the sharing of electrons.

Front

What is the boiling point of molecular compounds compared to ionic compounds?

Back

Molecular compounds generally have a low boiling point compared to ionic compounds.

Front

How many valence electrons does iodine have?

Back

Iodine has 7 valence electrons.

Front

What type of bond is formed when two pairs of electrons are shared between two atoms?

Back

A double bond is formed when two pairs of electrons are shared between two atoms.

Front

What is the purpose of a subscript in a chemical formula?

Back

A subscript indicates the number of individual atoms of an element in a chemical formula.

Front

What is a diatomic element?

Back

A diatomic element is a molecule composed of two atoms of the same or different chemical elements, such as O2 (oxygen) or H2 (hydrogen).

Front

What is the octet rule?

Back

The octet rule states that atoms tend to bond in such a way that they each have eight electrons in their valence shell, achieving a stable electron configuration.

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 is the difference between a single bond, double bond, and triple bond?

Back

A single bond involves one pair of shared electrons, a double bond involves two pairs, and a triple bond involves three pairs.

Front

What is conductivity in relation to ionic and molecular compounds?

Back

Ionic compounds generally have good conductivity when dissolved in water, while molecular compounds typically do not conduct electricity.
