Bonding and naming Compounds Quiz

Which of the following best describes the difference between the forces between different substances versus the forces within a substance?

• Forces between substances are always stronger than forces within a substance.

• Forces within a substance hold the atoms or ions together, while forces between substances are interactions between separate molecules or compounds.

• Forces within a substance are only found in metals.

• Forces between substances are only found in gases.

What is meant by the statement, "Bonding is a spectrum"?

• All bonds are identical.

• Bonding types range from purely ionic to purely covalent, with many bonds having characteristics of both.

• Bonding only occurs in metals.

• Bonding is only important in gases.

Which of the following is a key difference between an ionic and a covalent compound?

• Ionic compounds are made of only nonmetals, while covalent compounds are made of metals and nonmetals.

• Ionic compounds involve the transfer of electrons, while covalent compounds involve the sharing of electrons.

• Covalent compounds conduct electricity in solution, while ionic compounds do not.

• Ionic compounds are always gases at room temperature.

Why is it necessary to include a Roman numeral when naming an ionic compound with a transition metal?

• To indicate the number of atoms in the compound.

• To show the charge of the transition metal ion.

• To identify the type of bond present.

• To specify the color of the compound.

Which of the following best explains what makes a metallic bond different from an ionic or covalent bond?

• Metallic bonds involve the sharing of electrons between two nonmetals.

• Metallic bonds involve a "sea of electrons" that are delocalized and free to move throughout the metal lattice.

• Metallic bonds only occur in gases.

• Metallic bonds are weaker than all other types of bonds.

Which of the following is an example of an alloy?

• Sodium chloride

• Bronze

• Water

• Carbon dioxide

Which term describes a positively charged ion?

• Anion

• Cation

• Molecule

• Salt

What is the "rule of zero charge" in ionic compounds?

• The total positive and negative charges in the compound must add up to zero.

• The compound must have only negative charges.

• The compound must have only positive charges.

• The charges do not matter in ionic compounds.

Which property is unique to metallic bonds and explains why metals are good electrical conductors?

• Presence of ionic bonds

• Delocalized electrons that can move freely

• Strong covalent bonds

• High melting point

Which of the following best describes a polyatomic ion?

• An ion made of only one atom
