Chemical Bonding Concepts and Properties

Which of the following is NOT a type of chemical bond discussed in the video?

• Metallic bond

• Ionic bond

• Covalent bond

• Hydrogen bond

What is the main characteristic of an ionic bond?

• Sharing of electrons

• None of the above

• Transfer of electrons

• Formation of a metallic lattice

In an ionic bond, what type of elements typically combine?

• Two metals

• Two nonmetals

• A metal and a nonmetal

• A metal and a metalloid

Why does sodium readily form an ionic bond with chlorine?

• Sodium has one electron in its outer shell and chlorine needs one electron to complete its octet.

• Sodium and chlorine both need to gain electrons.

• Sodium and chlorine share electrons equally.

• Sodium and chlorine both need to lose electrons.

What is the key feature of a covalent bond?

• Sharing of electrons

• None of the above

• Transfer of electrons

• Formation of a metallic lattice

Which elements typically form covalent bonds?

• Metalloids

• Metals

• Noble gases

• Nonmetals

What makes a coordinate covalent bond unique?

• Both atoms share electrons equally.

• Electrons are transferred from one atom to another.

• It only occurs between metals.

• One atom provides both electrons for the bond.

In a coordinate covalent bond, which atom typically provides both electrons?

• The less electronegative atom

• The more electronegative atom

• A noble gas atom

• A metal atom

Why are metals good conductors of electricity?

• They are malleable.

• They have a sea of delocalized electrons.

• They have a high density.

• They have a high melting point.

What is a characteristic property of metallic bonds?

• High melting points

• Poor electrical conductivity

• Formation of ionic compounds

• Sharing of electrons
