1.

What type of elements can react using covalent bonding?

a)

metals only

b)

non-metals only

c)

metals and non-metals together

d)

any element can react

2.

What type of force holds the atoms together in all of the different types of bonding?

a)

ionic bonding

b)

intermolecular forces

c)

electrostatic forces of attraction

d)

electromagnetic forces

3.

Define ionic bonding.

a)

when atoms share electrons so both atoms have a full outer shell

b)

when atoms lose electrons so both atoms have a full outer shell

c)

when atoms swap electrons so both atoms have a full outer shell

d)

when atoms gain electrons so both atoms have a full outer shell

4.

What type of elements can react using ionic bonding?

a)

metals only

b)

non-metals only

c)

metals and non-metals together

d)

any element can react

5.

Define metallic bonding.

a)

the electrostatic force of attraction between two metals

b)

the electrostatic force of attraction between the positive ions and delocalised electrons

c)

the electrostatic force of attraction between the positive and negative ions

d)

the metallic bonding in a metal due to intermolecular forces

6.

Explain why metals can conduct electricity.

a)

metals have delocalised electrons that are free to move

b)

metals have delocalised ions that are free to move

c)

metals have ions that are free to move

d)

metals have atoms that are free to move

7.

Why are metals malleable?

a)

the layers of atoms are arranged in a regular structure and can slide over each other

b)

the atoms have different sizes so they can slide over each other

c)

the atoms are arranged in an irregular structure and slide over each other in certain directions

d)

the layers of atoms are arranged in an irregular structure and can slide over each other

8.

Why are alloys stronger than pure metals?

a)

alloys have lots of different elements interacting with each other

b)

alloys have lots of covalent bonds between the different atoms

c)

pure metals have metallic bonding between the different metals which is very strong

d)

the atoms have different sizes so the alloy has an irregular structure and the layers can't slide over each other

9.

Why will group 2 metals have a higher melting point than group 1 metals?

a)

group 2 elements have more ionic bonding than group 1

b)

group 2 exhibits stronger covalent bonds between the metals

c)

group 2 exhibits stronger electrostatic forces of attraction between the higher charge of the ion and the delocalised electrons

d)

group 2 has more protons and neutrons which requires more energy to break apart

10.

Why will group 2 metals be better electrical conductors than group 1 metals?

a)

they have twice as many delocalised electrons

b)

they have twice as many ions that are free to move

c)

they have stronger metallic bonding which helps conductivity

d)

they have more protons and electrons than group 1

11.

Define covalent bonding.

a)

swapping of electrons

b)

a shared pair of electrons

c)

an electron being shared

d)

transfer of electrons between metals and non-metals
