Chemical Bonding and Ion Formation Quiz

Electrons shared between atoms form a covalent bond.

Sodium chloride is represented by the formula NaCl.

When two atoms of the same element bond, they form a covalent bond.

A bond between a metal and a nonmetal forms an ionic bond.

The process of gaining or losing electrons to become charged is called ionization.

Halogens gain electrons to achieve noble gas configuration.

Attraction between oppositely charged ions forms an ionic bond.

Molecule with tetrahedral geometry and no lone pairs has a tetrahedral shape.

H2O has the highest boiling point among the given molecules.

Unequal sharing of electrons between atoms results in a polar covalent bond.

SF4 has a trigonal bipyramidal molecular geometry.

CO2 exhibits nonpolar covalent bonding.

Calcium is most likely to form a +2 ion.

Carbon in methane (CH4) exhibits sp3 hybridization.

Atoms prefer to have a filled valence shell, according to the octet rule.
