Bonding & Those Unstable Electrons

Which are the names of the types of compounds?

• diatomic and polyatomic

• ionic and covalent

• salty and not salty

• intermolecular and intramolecular

Which type of scenarios trend most often toward ionic bonding?

• metals bonding to metals

• non-metals bonding to non-metals

• metals bonding to non-metals

• metalloids bonding to metalloids

What is going on with the valence electrons involved in an ionic bond?

• some metal valences are donated or transferred or given to non-metal atoms

• some non-metal valences are donated or transferred or given to metal atoms

• valence electrons are shared between non-metal atoms

• valence electrons are transferred between metal ions

What is the difference between diatomic molecule chemicals and polyatomic ion chemicals?

• diatomic molecules have 2 atoms of the same type per type of molecule

• polyatomic groups make up ions, not total molecules

• polyatomic ions have their own various names:

  -ate, -ite...

• diatomic molecule names are taken straight off the Periodic Table

• all the other answers are correct

Ionic Compounds are typically made from:

• metals and non-metals

• atoms with overall electronegativity differences above 2.0

• givers and takers

• all the other answers are correct

Forming dry compounds results in:

• unfilled outside valence shells

• unfilled outside energy levels

• outside valence shells that follow the "octet rule"

• overall charged ions

The criss-cross method is used to:

• discover the common charges (aka: oxidation states) of substances

• determine a ratio of ions that will form an over all neutral ionic compound

• energize outside valence electrons during flame tests and emission spectroscopy

• combine non-metals to non-metals mainly

Forming a compound results in:

• overall neutral charges for dry compounds

• full valence shells around all atoms

• intramolecular bonds

• more electron stability among bonding atoms

• all the other answers are correct

Covalent compunds result from:

• transferring valence electrons between metal and non-metal ions

• sharing of valence electrons between non-metals

• sharing of valence electrons between metals

• transferring of valnce electrons between non-metals

Lower electronegativity differences below 2.1 between non-metals that are bonding usually are categorized as what type of bonding?

• ionic

• polyatomic

• covalent

• diatomic
