• CaBr2

• NBr3

• CH4

• NO2

Multiple Choice

• Covalent compounds do not have bonds between nonmetals; they are between a nonmetal and a metal

• Covalent compounds do not have low melting and boiling points; they have high melting and boiling points.

• Covalent compounds do not dissociate into ions in an aqueous solution; they are not conductive in an aqueous solution

• Covalent compounds do not have weaker bonds than ionic compounds; they have stronger bonds than ionic compounds.

Multiple Choice

• N2O4

• ClO2

• SI4

Multiple Choice

• KBr and Mg2Br

• KBr and MgBr

• K2Br and Mg2Br

• KBr and MgBr2

Multiple Choice

What is the chemical formula for calcium oxide?

• CaO

• Ca2O

• CaO2

• Ca2O2

Multiple Choice

Calcium (Ca) is in the second column of the periodic table and is classified as an alkaline earth metal. Which of the following formulas shows the ratio of a compound formed from calcium and iodine (I)?

• CaI

• Ca2I

• CaI2

• CaI3

Multiple Choice

Hector claims that a single sodium ion and a single oxygen ion do not bond together to form a stable binary ionic compound. Is he correct? Why or why not?

• Hector is incorrect. The two ions have opposite charges, so they will bond together in a binary ionic compound.

• Hector is incorrect. The two ions have more than eighteen protons, so they will bond together in a binary ionic compound.

• Hector is correct. The sum of the charges of the two ions must be zero in order for them to form a stable ionic compound.

• Hector is correct. The sum of the protons of the two ions must be divisible by eight in order for them to form a stable ionic compound.
