bonding

A shared pair of electrons is also known as

• a metallic bond

• a covalent bond

• an ionic bond

• James Bond

Which pair below would be most likely to form an ionic bond?

• C and O

• P and F

• Li and Cl

• He and Ne

Another way to think about an ionic bond is as

• an electrostatic force

• an overlap of electron clouds

• a vector

• a shared pair of valence electrons

If you find the difference (mathematically) between the electronegativities of two different atoms you can...

• locate the elements on the Periodic Table

• determine the Family or Group the elements are in

• determine the charge on each ion of the two elements

• determine the bond type that will occur between the two atoms

An electronegativity difference of 2.0 is representative of

• a covalent bond

• a metallic bond

• an ionic bond

• all bonds

Which atom below would tend to pull electrons toward itself the most thus creating a "bulbous" shaped electron cloud?

• H

• C

• Cl

• Na

Which statement about bonding is correct?

• all electrons are involved in the formation of bonds

• only valence electrons are involved in the formation of bonds

• only core electrons are involved in the formation of bonds

• only the force of the nuclei are involved in the formation of bonds

Which type of energy is associated with chemical bonds?

• potential energy

• kinetic energy

• nuclear energy

• thermal energy

When an electron transfer occurs, then the potential for __________ to form exists.

• a metallic

• a covalent

• an ionic

• all bonds

Typically, a(n) ____________________ compound has a very high melting point.
