Question illustration
A
barium (Ba)

3

Which statement describes the valence electrons in ionic bonds?

A
They are shared equally between two atoms.
B
They are shared unequally between two atoms.
C
They are shared among many atoms.
D
They are transferred from one atom to another.
4

Which statement best explains why a metal atom and a nonmetal atom are most likely to form an ionic bond?

A
Metal atoms have low ionization energy, and nonmetal atoms have high electronegativity, so electrons transfer easily from the nonmetal atom to the metal atom.
B
Metal atoms have low ionization energy, and nonmetal atoms have high electronegativity, so electrons transfer easily from the metal atom to the nonmetal atom.
C
Metal atoms have high ionization energy, and nonmetal atoms have low electronegativity, so electrons transfer easily from the nonmetal atom to the metal atom.
D
Metal atoms have high ionization energy, and nonmetal atoms have low electronegativity, so electrons transfer easily from the metal atom to the nonmetal atom.

It has a low melting point.
B
It can be flattened and bent.
C
It cannot be shaped into wires.
D
It does not conduct electricity.
6

Which statement describes how the bond between two oxygen atoms is formed?

A
by sharing valence electrons with many other atoms
B
by the repulsion between ions of like charges
C
by the attraction of two oppositely charged ions
D
by sharing valence electrons between the two atoms
7

What will most likely happen when two bromine atoms bond together?

A
The atoms will become less stable.
B
An ionic bond will hold them together.
C
A covalent bond will hold them together.
D
A metallic bond will hold them together.
8

Which type of substances have chemical bonds that are not directional and valence electrons that move freely between the atoms?
