Chapter 5 Test Notes

Question 1

What are chemical bonds?

Answer 1

more than one atom bonding to be stable

Question 2

Describe the octet rule and how chemical bonds satisfy it.

Answer 2

Oct which means 8.
In the Octet rule, you need to get 8 electrons by giving up or gaining an electron the bonds help fill up an octet.

Question 3

Name the 2 main types of bonds and how chemical bonds satisfy it.

Answer 3

Ionic and covalent.
Ionic is formed when 1 or more electrons are transferred from one atom to another. Example NaCL
Covalent- forms when electrons are shared between 2 non-metals. Example CO

Question 4

Do most elements exist in their pure form in nature?

Answer 4

No, because compounds are needed to be combined to be in stable form.

Question 5

Identify the number of atoms in chemical in a chemical formula.

Answer 5

Look for the capital letters

Question 6

Be able to name a compound based on a chemical formula. Mono, di, tri

Answer 6

Mono=1
di=2
tri=3
Always -ide for covalent
Always -ide for second ionic

Question 7

What are diatomic molecules?

Answer 7

Molecules that need to exist with a bonded pair

Question 8

What makes elements unstable?

Answer 8

When it does not have 8 in the outermost energy level

Question 9

Does a molecule have the same characteristics as the parent element?

Answer 9

They DO NOT have the same properties because new compounds create something new with compliments.
