1. A form of chemical bonding where the atoms share pairs of electrons.

2. A form of chemical bonding that involves a metal and a non-metal where
electrons are transferred from the metal to the non-metal.
3. In metallic bonding, the valence electrons lose their association with
individual atoms; they form what amounts to a mobile "electron fluid" that
fills the space between the crystal lattice positions occupied by the atoms
4. Polar When the line along all bonds makes a line of symmetry and a
molecule is polar when it interacts through dipole dipole bonding and
hydrogen bonding
Non-Polar When the bonds do not form a line of symmetry and a molecule
is non-polar when the 2 atoms share a bond almost uniformly
5. DipoleNon uniform distribution of charges
6. It is important to understand electronegativity because in some cases it
determines the type if bonding used. In an ionic bond the electronegativity
must be at least a 1.7 difference, where as in a covalent bond the
electronegativity must be less than a 1.7 difference.
7. It is not correct to call a bond either purely covalent or purely ionic because
there may be part of the bond that is either like some bonds may be covalent
and others may be ionic
8. Covalent When two or more kids didn’t do the homework and they both
copy it

Ionic When someone steals the homework from someone who did it

Metallic When the homework is online and everyone gets their own

9. Intermolecular forces are dipole-dipole interaction and hydrogen bonding

which are much weaker than intramolecular forces which are covalent
bonds, ionic bonds, and metallic bonds
10. Intermolecular CovalentIonic Metallic
11. Intermolecular forces are the determining factor in the melting and boiling
point for a substance. Two factors within this are molecular mass, which is a
direct relationship with boiling/melting point and if dispersion forces are
present which means more electrons, which also has a direct relationship
with the melting/boiling point.
12.
a. Van der Waals Forces Sum of attractive/repulsive forces between
molecules
 b. London Dispersion Forces Weakest intermolecular force, which is
only temporary
c. Dipole-Dipole Interaction Only seen in polar covalent molecules
have this where negative attracts positive and vice versa
d. Ion Dipole Interaction Attractive force that results from the
electrostatic attraction between an ion and a neutral molecule that
has a dipole
e. Hydrogen Bonding Polar covalent bond that uses a hydrogen
bonded to a nitrogen, oxygen, or fluorine
13. When dissolving salt in water the water molecules start to break down the
NaCl with the positive side of the water molecule, the hydrogen, attaching to
the negative chlorine and the negative side of the water molecule, the oxygen,
attaching to the positive sodium.
14. The boiling point of water is not what is expected based on the other
compounds because you would expect it to be higher based on the type of
bond and the electronegativity but in fact it is not
15. A diamond is an allotrope of carbon, where the carbon atoms are arranged in
a variation of the face-centered cubic crystal structure called a diamond
lattice. Diamond is less stable than graphite, but the conversion rate for
diamond to graphite is negligible. Diamond is renowned as a material with
superlative physical qualities, most of which originate from the strong
covalent bonding between atoms. Diamond has the highest hardness and
thermal conductivity of any bulk material. Diamond is the hardest natural
material known, where hardness is defined as resistance to scratching and is
graded between 1 (softness) and 10 (hardest)
16. The hydronium ion is a hydrogen ion in association with a molecule of water.
In a water molecule, the hydrogen atoms have two pairs of unshared
electrons in its outermost shell. The hydrogen ion does not have any
electrons in its valence shell. It shares a pair of electrons from the oxygen
atom by means of co-ordinate co-valency to form a hydronium
