Identifying Types of Bonding in Chemistry

Which of the following is NOT one of the three main types of bonding?

• Metallic bonding

• Hydrogen bonding

• Ionic bonding

• Covalent bonding

What type of elements are involved in covalent bonding?

• Metals only

• Non-metals only

• Both metals and non-metals

• Metalloids only

Which of the following is a simple covalent molecule?

• Oxygen

• Iron

• Sodium chloride

• Diamond

Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of covalent bonding?

• Forms giant ionic lattices

• Involves sharing of electrons

• Can form simple or giant structures

• Occurs between non-metals

What is the key characteristic of ionic bonding?

• Formation of small molecules

• Sharing of electrons

• Delocalized electrons

• Electrostatic attraction between positive and negative ions

Which of the following compounds is ionic?

• Oxygen

• Diamond

• Sulfur dioxide

• Sodium chloride

What happens to metal atoms in metallic bonding?

• They form small molecules

• They form negative ions

• They form positive ions and delocalized electrons

• They share electrons

Which of the following is an example of a metallic substance?

• Carbon dioxide

• Magnesium

• Graphite

• Water

What is the main difference between ionic and metallic bonding?

• Ionic bonding involves sharing electrons, while metallic bonding involves delocalized electrons

• Ionic bonding occurs only in metals, while metallic bonding occurs in non-metals

• Ionic bonding involves electrostatic attraction between ions, while metallic bonding involves attraction between ions and delocalized electrons

• Ionic bonding forms small molecules, while metallic bonding forms giant structures

Which type of bonding involves a 'sea of delocalized electrons'?

• Covalent bonding

• Ionic bonding

• Metallic bonding

• Hydrogen bonding
