Question 4 • Chemistry

The incomplete table shows selected characteristics of different types of bonds. Row Bond Cause Physical property of compound 1 ? Electron sharing among many atoms Ductile 2 ? Electron sharing between two atoms Brittle 3 ? ? Brittle What type of bond is most likely being represented in row 1?

Answer
A
covalent
B
ionic
C
ion-dipole
D
metallic

Explanation

Metallic bonds involve valence electrons shared among many atoms in a lattice. This allows layers of atoms to slide past one another without breaking the bonding, making metals ductile. Therefore, row 1 most likely represents a metallic bond.
