1. Which type of bond involves the complete transfer of electrons between atoms?
Covalent bond
Ionic bond
Metallic bond
Hydrogen bond
2. What is the primary force holding atoms together in a metallic bond?
Electrostatic attraction between ions
Sharing of electron pairs
Attraction between positive metal ions and a 'sea' of delocalized electrons
Intermolecular forces
3. A bond typically forms between a metal and a nonmetal.
4. In a covalent bond, electrons are between atoms.
5. The ability of metals to conduct electricity is due to the presence of electrons.
6. Describe the difference in electron behavior between an ionic bond and a covalent bond.
