Question 5

more info on Ionic bonds

Answer 5

Ionic bonds TRANSFER out their electrons.

Question 6

Question 7

How are covalent compounds formed?

Answer 7

They are formed when non-metals combine with each other.

Question 8

covalent bonds

Answer 8

Are the results of electrons being SHARED.

Question 9

covalent vs ionic bond

Answer 9

covalent bonds are weaker than ionic bonds because the ionic bonds tend to form a lattice structure, that makes them much stronger.

Answer 10

O2 – oxygen.
Cl2 – chlorine.
PCl3 – phosphorus trichloride.
CH3CH2OH – ethanol.
O3 – ozone.
H2 – hydrogen.

Question 11
