Chemical Bonds Quiz

What type of bond is formed when electrons are transferred from one atom to another?

• Metallic bond

• Covalent bond

• Hydrogen bond

• Ionic bond

Which type of bond involves the sharing of electrons between atoms?

• Hydrogen bond

• Covalent bond

• Metallic bond

In which type of bond do electrons move freely between atoms in a 'sea of electrons'?

• Metallic bond

• Ionic bond

• Covalent bond

• Equal sharing of electrons in polar covalent bonds.

• Polar covalent bonds are stronger than nonpolar covalent bonds.

• Complete transfer of electrons in nonpolar covalent bonds.

Which type of bond is generally stronger: covalent or ionic?

• Hydrogen

• Metallic

• Covalent

• Ionic

What type of bond is formed between a metal and a nonmetal?

• Covalent bond

• Ionic bond

• Metallic bond

• Hydrogen bond

What is the term used to describe a molecule with an uneven distribution of charge?

• polar

• neutral

• charged

• ionic

Which type of bond is more likely to dissolve in water: polar or nonpolar?

• covalent
