Bonding

Elements on the LEFT side of the periodic table will most likely form:

• Positive ions
• Negative ions
• Neutral Ions
• None of these

An ionic bond forms when atoms ___________ electrons.

• gain
• share
• increase
• transfer

All chemical bonds involve two atoms sharing electrons.

• True
• False

Chemical bonds form when atoms

• combined nuclei
• give up neutrons
• gain protons
• share or transfer electrons

Covalent compounds

• Share electrons
• transfer electrons
• contain a sea of electrons
• conduct electricity

How are covalent bonds explained?

• When one atom takes the other atom's electron
• When the atom shares an electron with an another atom
• When the two nucleus merge
• When the neutrons leave the nucleus

Gain or lose electrons

• Ionic Bonds
• Covalent Bonds
• Both bonds
• Neither bond

Share electrons

• Ionic Bonds
• Covalent Bonds
• Both bonds
• Neither bond

Between metals and nometals

• Ionic Bonds

• Both bonds
• Neither bond

Between  nonmetals
