1.

When atoms share electrons so that they both get a full outer shell.

a)

Covalent bond

b)

Ionic bond

c)

Compound

d)

Pairing

2.

Weak attractive forces between molecules. When a simple covalent substance melts or boils, it is these forces that are broken (not the covalent bonds in each molecule).

a)

Covalent forces

b)

Electronic forces

c)

Intermolecular forces

d)

Intermolecular bonds

3.

The "properties" of a material are...

a)

...its characteristics, features, and behaviour.

b)

...what the material owns.

c)

...only what it looks like.

d)

...only how it behaves in certain situations.

4.

A substance's ability to allow heat or electricity to pass through it

a)

Charge

b)

Conductivity

c)

Reactivity

d)

Liquidity

5.

Usually electrons or ions, which move through a substance as electricity.

a)

Chargers

b)

Charged particles

c)

Electroballs

d)

Electric carriers

6.

Electrons that are not attached to a particular atom.

E.g. in a metal, outer electrons can be free to move through the solid.

a)

Loose

b)

Independent

c)

Delocalised

d)

Disconnected

7.

If two atoms are 'attracted' to each other, it means they....

a)

...really like each other

b)

...both feel a force pulling them together

c)

...are touching each other

d)

...cannot be separated

8.

When electrons are lost by one atom and gained by another, so that they both get full outer shells.

a)

Covalent bond

b)

Ionic bond

c)

Pairing

d)

Compound

9.

What is an 'ion'?

a)

A particle found in the nucleus of an atom

b)

Something in the periodic table

c)

A tool you use for flattening clothes

d)

An atom that has lost or gained electrons

10.

A type of covalent bond where four electrons (two pairs) are shared between two atoms.

a)

Pair bond

b)

4-way bond

c)

Secondary bond

d)

Double bond
