15 Questions

Quiz Description

Here in this quiz, our focus will be on chemical bonding. You will get to answer questions on the three major types of bonding which are: ionic bonding, covalent bonding, and metallic bonding. Chemical bonding as we know is very important with respect to the study of chemistry, hence this quiz was made to cover that aspect in an appreciable manner.

A chemical bond is defined as the attraction between ions, atoms, or molecules that enables the formation of chemical compounds. There exist three major types of chemical bonds which are: an ionic bond, a covalent bond, and a metallic bond.

An ionic bond is a chemical bond that generates two ions of opposite charges. It involves the complete transfer of valence electrons. On the other hand, a covalent bond involves the sharing of a pair or pairs of electrons between bonded atoms, and a metallic bond is that bond that exists as a result of the electrostatic force of attraction between the delocalized sea of electrons and the positively charged metal ions.

To conclude, chemical bonding is an interesting topic in chemistry you shouldn't neglect. If you are willing to get a pass on any questions concerned with bonding in chemistry, all you need to do is solve this quiz. Good luck!
