4.

Define covalent bond.

a)

is a ionic bond formed when two atoms share one or more pairs of valence electrons.

b)

is a chemical bond formed when two atoms share one or more pairs of valence electrons.

is a metallic bond formed when two atoms share one or more pairs of valence electrons.

5.

Define molecule.

a)

a group of ions held together by ionic bonding that acts as an independent unit

b)

a group of metals held together by metallic bonding that acts as an independent unit

c)

a group of atoms held together by covalent bonding that acts as an independent unit

6.

What is a polar molecule?

a)

a molecule that has a partial + and a partial - end, because of unequal sharing of electrons

a molecule that is all negative

7.

What is a chemical formula?

a)

a group of numbers that represent the number of atoms of each element that makes up a compound

8.

What is an ion?

a)

an atom that is positively charged

b)

an atom that is negatively charged

c)

an atom that is no longer electrically neutral because it has lost or gained VE

9.

What is an ionic bond?

a)

the attraction of two + charged ions

b)

the attraction between + and - charged ions in an ionic compound

c)

the attraction of two - charged ions

10.

What is a metallic bond?

a)

a bond formed when many metal atoms share their pooled VE

b)

a bond formed when many ions share their pooled VE

11.
