Ionic and Metallic Bonding

A bond between a metal and a nonmetal is called a(n):

• covalent bond

• ionic bond

• metallic bond

• transfer bond

What type of bond will form between magnesium and oxygen?

• ionic

• covalent

• metallic

• tranfer

What type of bond will form between zinc and copper?

• ionic

• covalent

• metallic

• hydrogen

A mixture of two or more metals is called:

• mixture

• solution

• compound

• alloy

What is a metallic bond?

• the attraction of neutral metal atoms to each other

• the attraction between protons and neutrons

• the attraction between positive metal ions and interlocking electrons

• the attraction between positive metal ions and free floating electrons

Why are metals malleable?

• They are shiny

• The electrons are held tightly within the lattice structure making it strong

• The electrons are delocalized and able to move between the atoms

• The electrons are shared between two metal ions and this holds the atoms together

Which of the following pairs of elements would form an ionic compound?

• sulfur and phosphorus

• sodium and iodine

• iron and chromium

• aluminum and zinc

• 1
• 2
• 6
• 8

Positive ions that are formed by the gain or loss of valence electrons are called:

• cation

• anion

• polyatomic ion

• none of the above

A negatively charged ion is called a(n):

• cation

• anion

• ion

• none of the above
