30s - Q3
Why do noble gases NOT form compounds readily
They have 7 electrons in the outer energy levels
Their outer energy levels have 8 valence electrons
They have empty outer energy levels
They have no electrons
30s - Q4
One property of an ionic bond is
not dissolving in water
low melting points
the formation of solid crystals
the formation of a shiny surface
30s - Q5
Atoms that gain electrons become ions with a _______ charge
equal
positive
negative
like
30s - Q6
Which of the following compounds is NOT likely to have ionic bonds
NaCL
LiF
CH4
MgF2
30s - Q7
Dot diagrams are used to represent
the structure of the nucleus
atomic mass
outer electrons
protons
30s - Q8
Sodium is an atom represented as Na+. What does the "+" represent?
One positive sign is listed because it only takes one electron to make the atom neutral
Sodium has a tendency to lose a valence electron when it becomes an ion
the plus sign mean it can combine with almost every element found on the periodic table
Sodium has a tendency to gain a valence electron when it becomes an ion
30s - Q9
Most of the mass of an atom is found in its ___________
electron cloud
nucleus
mass number
atomic number
30s - Q10
What is the name given to the units that make up covalently bonded compounds?
ions
energy levels
electrons
molecules
30s - Q11
Which of the following is a compound?
oxygen
water
neon
gold
30s - Q12
A chemical bond that occurs when atoms share electrons is a(n) _____________ bond
covalent
ionic
polyatomic
magnetic
30s - Q13
Why is water a covalent bond?
Water is two nonmetal atoms which share electrons forming a molecule
the electrons from the hydrogen and oxygen in water are shared in a pool
Hydrogen and oxygen gain and lose electrons when forming the molecule water
Water forms solid crystals over a given amount of time
30s - Q14
