Chemistry Chapter 5

Front

What is ionic bonding?

Back

Ionic bonding is a type of chemical bond that involves the complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another, resulting in the formation of charged ions that attract each other.

Front

What type of bonding is exhibited by buckminsterfullerene?

Back

Buckminsterfullerene exhibits network covalent bonding, where carbon atoms are bonded in a three-dimensional structure.

Front

What is molecular covalent bonding?

Back

Molecular covalent bonding is a type of bonding where atoms share electrons to form molecules, typically between nonmetals.

Front

What type of bond is present in CO2?

Back

CO2 exhibits molecular covalent bonding, as it consists of covalent bonds between carbon and oxygen atoms.

Front

What type of bond is present in CH4?

Back

CH4 (methane) exhibits molecular covalent bonding, formed by the sharing of electrons between carbon and hydrogen atoms.

Front

What type of bond is present in PF5?

Back

PF5 exhibits molecular covalent bonding, where phosphorus shares electrons with five fluorine atoms.

Front

What is metallic bonding?

Back

Metallic bonding is a type of chemical bonding that occurs between metal atoms, characterized by a 'sea of electrons' that are free to move, allowing for conductivity.

Front

What distinguishes network covalent bonding from other types of bonding?

Back

Network covalent bonding involves a continuous network of covalent bonds throughout the material, resulting in very high melting points and hardness.

Front

How does the metallicity of elements influence bonding?

Back

The metallicity of elements influences bonding by determining whether they will form ionic, covalent, or metallic bonds based on their tendency to lose or gain electrons.

Front

What is the significance of electronegativity in bonding?

Back

Electronegativity is a measure of an atom's ability to attract electrons in a bond; it helps predict the type of bond (ionic, covalent) that will form between atoms.
