Quiz on Bonding and Structures

What is metallic bonding?

• Bonding between metal and non-metal atoms

• Bonding between non-metal atoms

• Bonding when metal atoms bond together

• Bonding when atoms share electrons

What allows metals to conduct electricity?

• Free protons

• Delocalised electrons

• Strong covalent bonds

• Ionic bonds

What is the main characteristic of ionic bonding?

• Sharing of electrons between atoms

• Transfer of electrons from metal to non-metal

• Delocalisation of electrons

• Formation of giant covalent structures

What type of structure do metals have?

• Simple molecular structures

• Giant ionic structures

• Giant structures of regularly arranged atoms

• Giant covalent structures

What is a property of simple molecular structures?

• High melting and boiling points

• Conduct electricity when dissolved

• Low melting and boiling points

• Strong electrostatic forces

What is a characteristic of giant covalent structures?

• Consist of a few atoms

• Weak intermolecular forces

• Consist of lots of atoms held by covalent bonds

• Conduct electricity in solid state

What is the role of delocalised electrons in metallic bonding?

• They form ionic bonds

• They are shared between non-metal atoms

• They are free to move through the whole structure

• They create weak forces between molecules

What is the result of the strength of a metallic bond?

• Weak intermolecular forces

• High melting and boiling points

• Low melting and boiling points

• Weak electrostatic forces

What is a property of ionic compounds?

• Low melting points

• Do not conduct electricity

• High melting and boiling points

• Weak covalent bonds

What is a feature of covalent bonding?

• Transfer of electrons

• Sharing of electrons

• Delocalisation of electrons

• Formation of ionic lattices
