1.

The (a)   rule states that atoms tend to form bonds so that each atom has eight electrons in its valence shell.

2.

What is the goal in ionic bonding ???

a)

cations and anions have a stable octet in its valence shell

b)

one element has a stable octet in its valence shell

c)

peace on earth in perpetuity

3.

TRUE or FALSE

Ionic bonding occurs when atoms in a bond loses or gains electrons to achieve an octet in its valence shell

a)

TRUE

b)

FALSE

Ionic bonding occurs when atoms in a bond shares electrons to achieve an octet in its valence shell

4.

The (a)   attraction between positive ions and negative ions forms an ionic bond

5.

What are the properties of metals ??

a)

metals can be drawn into wires

b)

metals have high melting and boiling points

c)

metals can be hammered into different shapes

d)

metals in solid form have specific crystal structures

e)

metals are able to conduct electricity due to stationary electrons

6.

The ___ __ ______ holds metal cation together throughout the entire solid

(a)  

7.

____________ ______ is the electrostatic attraction between the free-moving valence electrons and the positively charged metal cations in a sea of electrons

(a)  

8.

__________ ______ form when atoms of nonmetals are close enough to each other for their orbitals to overlap

(a)  

9.

TRUE or FALSE

Ionic bonds hold the atoms together in discrete molecules

a)

TRUE

b)

FALSE

Covalent bonds hold the atoms together in discrete molecules

10.

Covalent bonds can be which type of bonds ??

a)

single

b)

quadruple

c)

triple

d)

double

11.

Covalent bonds occur between ??

a)

metals x metals

b)

nonmetals x nonmetals

c)

nonmetals x metals

12.

Ionic bonds occur between ??

think enemies to lovers

a)

nonmetals x metals

b)

metals x metals

c)

nonmetals x nonmetals

13.

(a)   is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons

14.

The Pauling scale is most commonly used, where ________ is assigned a value of 4.0 and ranges down to Cesium and Francium's 0.7

a)

Hydrogen

b)

Destrogen

c)

Nitrogen

d)

Fluorine

15.

What if two atoms of equal electronegativity bond together ??

"A" and "B" are equally electronegative, both have the same tendency to attract the bonding pair of electrons

a)

to get a bond like this, the "A" and "B" would usually have to be the same atom

b)

this sort of bond could be thought as a "pure" covalent bond, where the electrons are shared even between the two atoms

c)

this sort of bond could be thought as a "pure" ionic bond, where the electrons are shared even between the two atoms

16.

What if atom "B" is slightly more electronegative than "A" ????

a)

"A" will attract the electron pair rather more than "B" does

b)

the bond is a polar covalent bond in which there is a separation of charge between one end and the other but slight

c)

the bond is ionic bond in which there is a separation of charge between one end and the other but large

17.

_______ ________ are intermolecular attractions between oppositely charged regions of polar molecules and stronger than dispersion forces

(a)  

18.

________ _______ are intermolecular forces in which a hydrogen force covalently bonded to a very electronegative atom is also weakly attracted to a lone electron pair of another elecrtonegative atom

(a)  

19.

What if atom "B" is much more electronegative than "A" ????

a)

the electron pair will be dragged right over to "B's" end of the bond

b)

Ions will form because "B" will have complete control over both electrons

c)

The bond is ionic not polar covalent

20.

what is the order of strength for intermolecular forces ???

(weakest ----> strongest)

a)
  1. 1. Dispersion forces

  2. 2. Dipole interactions

  3. 3. Hydrogen bond

a)

higher

b)

lower

c)

rounder

d)

wider
