  • State one physical property of an ionic compound.
    High melting and boiling point / conducts electricity in molten or aqueous state
  • Can covalent compounds conduct electricity?
    Cannot (because they do not have free-moving ions or electrons)
  • Name the chemical bond
    Ionic bond
  • Name the chemical bond
    Covalent bond
  • Which type of elements usually form covalent bonds?
    Non-metal with non-metal
  • What type of bond involves a 'sea of delocalized electrons'
    Metallic bond
  • What kind of bond is formed when electrons are donate/receive from one atom to another?
    Ionic bond
  • What kind of bond is formed when atoms share electrons?
    Covalent bond
  • What type of elements usually form ionic bonds?
    Metal and non-metal
  • Which type of compound dissolves better in water – ionic or covalent?
    Ionic
  • What kind of bond is formed when both electrons in a shared pair come from the same atom?
    Dative bond
  • Give one example of a covalent compound.
    O₂, CO₂, Water (H₂O), Carbon dioxide (CO₂), Methane (CH₄)
  • Why do atoms form ionic bonds?
    To achieve a stable duplet/octet electron arrangement
  • What is the bond called between a hydrogen atom and an electronegative atom like oxygen or nitrogen?
    Hydrogen bond
  • Give one example of a substance where hydrogen bonding occurs.
    Water (H₂O), ammonia (NH₃)
