Question 1: Why do elements form chemical bonds.


Answer 1: Elements form bonds in order to have 8 valence electrons like the noble gases


Question 2: What types of bonds are found in KClO3?


Answer 2: KClO3 contains both ionic and covalent bonds.

Why? The ionic bond occurs between the positive K+ ion and the negative ClO3

- ion. The ClO3-

ion is held together with covalent bonds.


Question 3: Describe the mechanism of ionic bonding.


Answer 3: Ionic bonding occurs when a metal transfers electrons to a nonmetal.


Question 4: Which set of atoms would likely form polar covalent bonds: a) sodium and chlorine, b) oxygen and hydrogen, c) hydrogen and hydrogen, or d) chlorine and chlorine?


Answer 4: Choice b - oxygen and hydrogen would most likely form polar covalent bonds.


Question 5:Describe the mechanism of covalent bonding.


Answer 5: Covalent bonding occurs when 2 nonmetals share electrons.


Question 6: Which molecule would be nonpolar? a) NaCl, b)CF4, c)H2O, or d) NH3


Answer 6: Choice b - CF4 would be a nonpolar molecule.


Question 7: Which molecule contains polar covalent bonds? a) O2, b) CH4, C) Li2O, d) CO


Answer 7: Choice d- CO would contain polar covalent bonds


Question 8: The electronegativity difference between phosphorus and nitrogen is 0.8. What type of bond would phosphorus and nitrogen form?


Answer 8: Phosphorus and nitrogen would form a polar covalent bond.


Question 9: Which molecule would not be linear? a) O2, b)CO2, c) OF2, or d)HF


Answer 9: Choice c - OF2 would not be linear.


Question 10: Which molecule would be a trigonal pyramid?

a) H2O b) SO42- c)SO3

d)NH3


Answer 10: Choice d – NH3

would be a trigonal pyramid.


Question 11: What type of chemical bonds are found in PCl3?


Answer 11: PCl3 contains only covalent bonds.


Question 12: The electronegativity difference between Br and Cs is 2.1, what type of bond would these elements form?


Answer 12: Cs and Br would form an ionic bond.


Question 13: What is the shape of an F2 molecule?


Answer 13: F2 forms a linear molecule.


Question 14: Which molecule will likely contain polar bonds? a) H2 b) CH4 c) SO3 d) C2H2


Answer 14: Choice c- SO3 contains polar bonds


Question 15: Which compound contains both ionic and covalent bonds?

a) Cu2O b) Ca(NO2)2 c) CCl4 d) H2O


Answer 15: Choice b- Ca(NO2)2 has both ionic and covalent bonds


Question 16: Which molecule contains polar bonds but is nonpolar overall?

a) CF4 b) HCl c) O3 d) SO32-


Answer 16: Choice a- CF4 is nonpolar even though it has polar bonds


Question 17: Which molecule contains nonpolar bonds but is polar overall?

a) H2O b) HCl c) O3 d) SO32-


Answer 17: Choice c- O3 is polar even though it contains nonpolar bonds.


Question 18: Which molecule will be tetrahedal? a) SO3

2- b) CH4 c) SO3 d) C2H2


Answer 17: Choice b- CH4 is tetrahedral


Question 18: Which set of atoms would likely form a molecular (covalent) compound: a) sodium and chlorine, b) oxygen and lithium, c) hydrogen and oxygen, or d) chlorine and calcium?


Answer 18: Choice c - oxygen and hydrogen would most likely form a molecular (covalent) compound.


Question 19: Identify the shape of the nitrate ion.

NO3-


Answer 19: The nitrate ion has a trigonal planar shape.


Question 20: Which compound would be likely to have a high boiling point: a) H2O, b) CH3Cl, c) FeCl3, or d) NH3?


Answer 20: Choice c- FeCl3 would most likely have a high boiling point.


Question 21: How many possible resonance structures does the nitrate ion have?

NO3-


Answer 21: The nitrate ion has 3 possible resonance structures.


Question 22: Which compound would be ionic? a) NaCl, b)CF4, c)H2O, or d) NH3


Answer 22: Choice a - NaCl

would be a ionic.


Question 23: Name 3 properties of ionic compounds.


Answer 23: Ionic compounds have the following properties: they are made of metals and nonmetals; they have high melting/boiling points; they are solid state at room temperature; they are brittle solids; they are good conductors electricity when melted or dissolved in water.
