Chemical Bonding Quiz - you may use "your" set of personal class notes

What type of elements are bonded in an ionic bond?

• A metal and a Metal

• A metal and a non-metal

• A metaloid and a non-metal

• A nometal and a nometal

What happens to electrons in a covalent bond?

• they are shared between atoms in no particular order

• they are transferred between atoms

• they are shared equally between atoms

• they are shared unequally between atoms

What do we call an atom that is positively or negatively charged?

• electro-negative

• a cation

• an anion

• an ion

If an atom has one valence electron it is most likely going to...

• be neutral

• become a negatively charged anion

• become a positively charged cation

• donate an electron in an effort to become more stable

If an atom has 7 valence electrons, this atom will most likely become (ionic bonding) ...

• a neutral ion

• a positively charged cation

• a negatively charged anion

• accept an electron in an effort to become more stable

Why are noble gasses non-reactive or inert?

• because they are gasses

• because they only have one valence electrons

• they have no valence electrons

• because they have a valence electron shell that is full

Why do elements, atoms, or molecules tend to react?

• To become more stable

• In order to get rid of extra electrons in their valence shell

• In an effort to fill their valence shells

• to add electrons to their nucleus

What is the net charge of an Ionic Compound

• positive

• negative

• neutral

The type of bond that occurs between a non-metal and a non-metal

• Ionic

• Polar

• Metallic

• Covalent

Which of the two is typically the stronger bond: Ionic or Covalent ?

• Ionic

• Polar Covalent

• Non-Polar Covalent

• van der walls forces
