  • 2. 

    A (blank) occurs when one electron from each atom is shared.

    Explanation
    A single bond occurs when one electron from each atom is shared. In this type of bond, two atoms share a pair of electrons, resulting in a stable arrangement. This sharing of electrons allows both atoms to achieve a full outer electron shell, satisfying the octet rule. Single bonds are typically weaker than double or triple bonds, but they are still important in forming the structure of molecules and compounds.

    What is the actual action that takes place in a covalent bond?

    • The protons of the atoms join together to form a mega-atom.

    • The sharing of electrons due to the serperate attractions between atoms.

    • Nothing important.

    • When a monkey eats a banana.

    Correct Answer
    A. The sharing of electrons due to the serperate attractions between atoms.
    Explanation
    In a covalent bond, the actual action that takes place is the sharing of electrons between atoms. This sharing occurs due to the separate attractions between the atoms involved. Through this sharing, the atoms are able to achieve a more stable electron configuration, resulting in the formation of a covalent bond. This bond is characterized by the sharing of electron pairs between the atoms involved, allowing them to achieve a more stable and balanced state.

  • 4. 

    A (blank) occurs when two electrons from each atom are shared.

    Correct Answer
    Double bond
    Explanation
    A double bond occurs when two electrons from each atom are shared. In a double bond, two pairs of electrons are shared between the atoms, resulting in a stronger bond than a single bond. This sharing of electrons allows the atoms to achieve a more stable electron configuration, fulfilling the octet rule. Double bonds are commonly found in molecules such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and ethene (C2H4), where the atoms involved require additional electrons to achieve stability.

    When two atoms orbitals bond, the bonds are above or below the nuclei in a (blank) bond.

    Correct Answer
    pi bond
    Explanation
    When two atoms form a pi bond, the bonding occurs above and below the nuclei. This type of bond is formed by the overlap of p orbitals, resulting in the formation of a cloud of electron density. The pi bond is characterized by the sideways overlap of the atomic orbitals, allowing for the formation of double or triple bonds between atoms. The pi bond is weaker than a sigma bond, which is formed by the head-on overlap of atomic orbitals.

    The lewis-dot structure is used to determine how two atoms will (blank) moleculary to one another.

    Correct Answer
    bond
    Explanation
    The Lewis-dot structure is used to determine how two atoms will bond molecularly to one another. This structure shows the arrangement of valence electrons around each atom, represented by dots. By analyzing the number of valence electrons and their distribution, it becomes possible to determine the type of bond that will form between the atoms, such as covalent or ionic. This information is crucial in understanding the chemical properties and behavior of molecules.

  • 7. 

    A sigma bond is ...

    • When to sigma college fraternities join together.

    • When two atoms orbitals begin to overlap and the bonds are above or below the nuclei.

    • When two atoms orbitals begin to overlap and the bond is in between the nuclei.

    • When a pie cutter cuts a slice of pie.

    Correct Answer
    A. When two atoms orbitals begin to overlap and the bond is in between the nuclei.
  • 8. 

    An ionic bond is a chemical bond between two (blank)-charged atoms.

    Correct Answer
    negatively
    Explanation
    An ionic bond is a chemical bond that forms between two atoms that have opposite charges. In this case, the correct answer is "negatively," indicating that one of the atoms involved in the bond is negatively charged. This suggests that the other atom involved in the bond must be positively charged, as opposite charges attract each other and form an ionic bond.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    What is a covalent bond?

    • A bond between two metals.

    • A sigma bond.

    • A pi bond.

    • All of the above.

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above.
    Explanation
    A covalent bond refers to a chemical bond formed between two atoms by the sharing of electron pairs. It can occur between two metals, forming a metallic bond, or between a metal and a non-metal, forming a sigma bond or a pi bond. Therefore, the correct answer is "All of the above" as all the options mentioned are types of covalent bonds.
