Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability. This worksheet will test your knowledge of ionic and covalent bonds and how to name them.
Chemical bonds are forces that hold atoms together to form molecules and compounds. There are two main types of chemical bonds: ionic bonds and covalent bonds. Understanding the difference between them is key to understanding how different substances behave.
1. What type of bond involves the TRANSFER of electrons between atoms?
Covalent bond
Ionic bond
Metallic bond
Hydrogen bond
2. Which type of bond typically forms between two nonmetal atoms?
Ionic bond
Covalent bond
Both ionic and covalent
Neither
3. In an ionic bond, electrons are shared between atoms.
True
False
4. The compound CO2 (carbon dioxide) is an example of an ionic compound.
True
False
5. An ionic bond forms between a metal and a .
6. When naming covalent compounds, we often use prefixes like di-, tri-, and .
7. Explain in your own words the main difference between an ionic bond and a covalent bond.
8. Name the following ionic compound: NaCl
9. Name the following covalent compound: SO2
