• two metals
• two nonmetals
• a metal and a nonmetal
• any combination of metal or nonmetal

An ionic compound is formed from _______.

"Acid rain" is a broad term referring to a mixture of wet and dry deposition (deposited material) from the atmosphere containing higher than normal amounts of nitric and sulfuric acids. In the United States, roughly 2/3 of all SO2 comes from electric power generation that relies on burning fossil fuels, like coal. Acid rain occurs when these gases react in the atmosphere with water, oxygen, and other chemicals to form various acidic compounds. What is the chemical name of SO2?

• sulfur oxygen
• sulfur dioxide
• sulfur oxide
• monosulfur dioxide

What is the name of the molecular compound N2H4?

• nitrogen hydride
• dinitrogen hydride
• dinitrogen tetrahydride
• nitrogen tetrahydride

Match the number of covalent bonds formed to the element

• 4

• nitrogen

• 2

• hydrogen / halogens

• 1

• carbon

• 3

• oxygen
