Ionic, Polar Covalent and Nonpolar Covalent video questions

What really determines the type of bond?

• the name of the compound

• the shape of the compound

• the formula of a compound

• the degree of sharing of electrons

If I refer to a compound as a "salt" then what must it be?

• NaCl

• a covalent compound

• salty

• an ionic compound

• a metallic compound

Ionic Compounds have ....

• minimal sharing of electrons

• a lot of sharing of electrons

• no sharing of electrons

Ionic compounds are excellent conductors when ...

• they are in the solid state

• they are in the gaseous state

• they are in the liquid state

• they are dissolved in water

which of the following describes ionic compounds?

• high melting points

• low melting points

• brittle

• rigid

• malleable

in covalent bonds electrons are

• transferred

• shared evenly

• shared unevenly

• either shared evenly or unevenly

If electrons are shared unevenly then

• the molecule is not distorted and there are not partial charges

• the molecule is distorted and there are not partial charges

• the molecule is not distorted and there are partial charges

• the mocule is distorted and there are partial charges

If electrons are shared unevenly then you have a

• non-polar covalent bond

• pure covalent bond

• polar covalent bond

• ionic bond

In a polar covalent bond the arrow points towards the

• less electronegative element

• the more electronegative element

• the larger element

• the smaller element

In a covalent bond the partial negative charge is on the

• least electronegative element

• most electronegative element

• metal
