Ionic and Covalent Bonding

The video tutorial explains the basic concepts of atomic bonding, focusing on ionic and covalent bonds. It describes how atoms are held together by bonds, with examples of ionic bonding using sodium and chlorine, and covalent bonding using carbon and hydrogen to form methane. The tutorial also covers the different types of covalent bonds, including single, double, and triple bonds, and how electrons are shared in these bonds.

What are the two main types of atomic bonds?

• Metallic and Ionic

• Ionic and Covalent

• Covalent and Metallic

• Hydrogen and Ionic

In ionic bonding, what happens to the valence electron of sodium when it bonds with chlorine?

• It is shared equally between sodium and chlorine.

• It is transferred to chlorine.

• It remains with sodium.

• It is lost to the environment.

What type of elements typically engage in covalent bonding?

• Metalloids

• Nonmetals

• Metals

• Noble gases

• Eight

• Six

• Four

• Two

What is the maximum number of electrons that can be shared in a covalent bond?

• Six
