In metals, the valence electrons

• are attached to particular positive ions.
• are shared by all of the atoms.
• are immobile.
• form covalent bonds.

In metallic bonds, the mobile electrons surrounding the positive ions are called a(n)

• Lewis structure.
• electron sea.
• electron cloud.
• dipole.

Malleability and ductility are characteristic of substances with

• covalent bonds.
• ionic bonds.
• Lewis structures.
• metallic bonds.

A polar molecule contains

• ions.
• a region of positive charge and a region of negative charge.
• only London forces.
• no bonds.

A chemical formula includes the symbols of the elements in the compound and subscripts that indicate

• atomic mass of each element.
• number of atoms or ions of each element that are combined in the compound.
• formula mass.
• charges on the elements or ions.

If two covalently bonded atoms are identical, the bond is

• nonpolar covalent.
• polar covalent.
• dipole covalent.
• coordinate covalent.

When atoms share electrons, the electrical attraction of an atom for the shared electrons is called the atom's

• electron affinity.
