Chemistry Bonding Review

What are atoms trying to lower in terms of energy when trying to become stable?

Ionic bonds are formed with these elements:

• metals and nonmetals

• nonmetals and nonmetals

• nonmetals and metalloids

• metals and metalloids

Covalent bonds are formed with these elements:

• metals and nonmetals

• nonmetals and nonmetals

• nonmetals and metalloids

• metals and metalloids

In a molecule, what type of bonding is occurring?

• Covalent Bond

• Ionic Bond

The energy needed to break a covalent bond.

• Bond energy

• Lattice energy

energy to form a crystal lattice

• Bond energy

• Lattice energy

What relationship is there with bond length and bond energy?

Answer explanation

- Shorter the bond length, the higher the energy/Longer the bond length, the lower the energy

- Inversely proportional
