Types of Chemical Bonds

When two atoms share electrons, a chemical bond is formed. This type of bond is called _________.

• metallic bond

• ionic bond

• covalent bond

An ionic bond can form between (a)   and nonmetals.

• metals
• two or more metals
• two or more nonmetals

Match the following types of bonds with their descriptions.

• Atoms share two pairs of electrons.

• polyatomic bond

• Atoms share one pair of electrons.

• double bond

• A bond involving multiple atoms.

• single bond

A chemical bond is formed when electrons are lost by one atom and gained by another, so that they both get full outer shells. This type of bond is called (a)   .

• metallic bond
• ionic bond
• covalent bond

A substance which has a high melting point, conducts electricity when dissolved in water, and has a crystalline structure probably has what type of bond?

• metallic bond

• ionic bond

• covalent bond

Match the following types of bonds with their descriptions.

• Electrons are freely shared between metal atoms.

• ionic bond

• Electrons are shared between atoms, typically between nonmetals.

• metallic bond

• Electrons are transferred from one atom to another, creating charged ions.

• covalent bond

A covalent bond can form between what kinds of elements?

• metals and nonmetals

• two or more metals

• two or more nonmetals

A solid substance is an excellent conductor of electricity. The chemical bonds in this substance are most likely?

• ionic, because the valence electrons are shared between atoms

• metallic, because the valence electrons are mobile

• covalent, because the valence electrons are mobile
