    What kind of bond do two oxygen atoms share?

    • Ionic bond

    • Covalent bond

    • James Bond

    • Metal bond

    Correct Answer
    A. Covalent bond
    Explanation
    Two oxygen atoms share a covalent bond. In a covalent bond, atoms share electrons in order to achieve a stable electron configuration. Oxygen atoms have six valence electrons and need two more to achieve a stable configuration. By sharing two electrons, each oxygen atom can fulfill its electron requirement, forming a covalent bond between them. Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons, while metal bonds occur between metal atoms. James Bond is not a type of bond.

    Which of the following will form an ionic bond?

    • Metal + nonmetal

    • Metal + metal

    • Metalloid + metalloid

    • Nonmetal + nonmetal

    Correct Answer
    A. Metal + nonmetal
    Explanation
    An ionic bond is formed when there is a transfer of electrons between a metal and a nonmetal. Metals tend to lose electrons and become positively charged ions, while nonmetals tend to gain electrons and become negatively charged ions. Therefore, a combination of a metal and a nonmetal will form an ionic bond.

    A type of bond in which electrons are shared between the atoms is a(n) ___________ bond.

    • Metalloid

    • Ionic

    • Covalent

    • Metallic

    Correct Answer
    A. Covalent
    Explanation
    A covalent bond is formed when electrons are shared between atoms. In this type of bond, the atoms involved have similar electronegativity, meaning they have similar abilities to attract electrons. This sharing of electrons allows both atoms to achieve a more stable electron configuration. Covalent bonds are typically formed between nonmetal atoms, as they have higher electronegativity values compared to metals. Therefore, the correct answer is covalent.

    How many valence electrons does the element Sulfur (S) have?

    • 4

    • 5

    • 6

    • 7

    Correct Answer
    A. 6
    Explanation
    Sulfur (S) is located in Group 16 of the periodic table, also known as the oxygen family. Elements in this group have 6 valence electrons. Since sulfur is a member of this group, it also has 6 valence electrons. Therefore, the correct answer is 6.

    Which of the following will form a covalent bond?

    • Metal + metal

    • Metal + nonmetal

    • Nonmetal + metalloid

    • Nonmetal + nonmetal

    Correct Answer
    A. Nonmetal + nonmetal
    Explanation
    Nonmetals are elements that tend to gain or share electrons in order to achieve a stable electron configuration. When two nonmetals come together, they can share electrons through a covalent bond. In a covalent bond, the atoms share electrons in their outermost energy levels, resulting in a stable configuration for both atoms. Therefore, the combination of two nonmetals is the only option that will form a covalent bond.
