Correct Answer
A. 2Explanation
A single covalent bond results in the sharing of two electrons between two atoms. This type of bond occurs when two atoms share one pair of electrons, with each atom contributing one electron to the bond. Therefore, the correct answer is 2.Rate this question:

Bonding results in a stable..
Correct Answer
shell, orbital, outer shell, valence, valence shellExplanation
Bonding between atoms results in the formation of a stable outer shell or valence shell. The outer shell is the outermost energy level of an atom, and it contains the valence electrons, which are the electrons involved in bonding. The valence electrons occupy specific regions around the nucleus called orbitals. Therefore, bonding leads to the stabilization of the shell, orbital, outer shell, valence, and valence shell of an atom.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. 4Explanation
Double covalent bonds occur when two atoms share two pairs of electrons. Each pair of electrons consists of two electrons, so a double bond involves a total of four shared electrons. Therefore, the correct answer is 4.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. 6Explanation
Triple covalent bonds result in 6 shared electrons. In a covalent bond, atoms share electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. A triple covalent bond consists of three pairs of shared electrons, totaling 6 electrons. This type of bond is formed when atoms need to share a larger number of electrons to achieve stability.Rate this question:

What is the difference between covalent bonds and ionic bonds?
-
Covalent bonds consist of one atom giving up an electron, while ionic bonds consist of two atoms sharing electrons
-
Covalent bonds consist of two atoms sharing electrons, while ionic bonds consist of one atom giving up an electron
-
There is a difference in the number of atoms in each
-
They occur at different atmospheric levels
Correct Answer
A. Covalent bonds consist of two atoms sharing electrons, while ionic bonds consist of one atom giving up an electronExplanation
Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between two atoms, while ionic bonds involve one atom giving up an electron to another atom. This means that in covalent bonds, both atoms contribute to the shared electron pair, while in ionic bonds, one atom loses an electron and the other gains it. The answer choice accurately describes this distinction.Rate this question:

Diagrams that show the bonding between atoms of a molecule, and the lone pairs of electrons that may exist in the molecule.
Correct Answer
lewis dotExplanation
The given correct answer, "lewis dot," is an explanation for the type of diagrams that show the bonding between atoms of a molecule and the lone pairs of electrons that may exist in the molecule. Lewis dot diagrams, also known as Lewis structures, use dots to represent valence electrons of atoms and lines to represent covalent bonds between atoms. These diagrams help visualize the arrangement of atoms and electrons in a molecule, providing information about its structure and bonding.Rate this question:

States that atoms tend to bond in such a way that they each have eight valence electrons..
Correct Answer
octet ruleExplanation
The octet rule states that atoms tend to bond in such a way that they each have eight valence electrons. This rule is based on the observation that atoms are more stable when their outermost energy level is full. By sharing, gaining, or losing electrons, atoms can achieve a full outer shell and become more stable. The octet rule helps to explain the formation of chemical bonds and the stability of molecules.Rate this question:

What are the three main types of covalent bonds?
Correct Answer
single bond, double bond, triple bondExplanation
The three main types of covalent bonds are single bond, double bond, and triple bond. In a single bond, two atoms share one pair of electrons. In a double bond, two atoms share two pairs of electrons. In a triple bond, two atoms share three pairs of electrons. These types of bonds determine the strength and stability of molecules.Rate this question:

What is a bond formed by the attraction between oppositley charged atoms?
Correct Answer
Ionic BondExplanation
An ionic bond is formed by the attraction between oppositely charged atoms. In this type of bond, one atom donates electrons to another atom, resulting in the formation of positive and negative ions. These ions are then attracted to each other due to their opposite charges, creating a strong bond. Ionic bonds typically occur between metals and non-metals, where the metal atom loses electrons to become a positive ion, and the non-metal atom gains those electrons to become a negative ion. This electrostatic attraction between the ions holds the bond together.Rate this question:
