Chemical Bonding

Modified True/False
Indicate whether the sentence or statement is true or false.  If false, change the identified word or phrase to make the sentence or statement true.
 

1. 

The properties of a compound are the same as the properties of the elements making up the compound. _________________________

 

2. 

Because a water molecule has a slight positive charge at one end and a slight negative charge at the other end, it is a nonpolar molecule. _________________________

 

3. 

Particles formed from the covalent bonding of atoms are called ions. _________________________

 

4. 

Molecules are neutral. _________________________

 

5. 

A term that means "without water" is anhydrous. _________________________

 

6. 

When an atom gains or loses electrons, the charged particle that results is called a molecule. _________________________

 

7. 

The formula SO42- stands for ammonium. _________________________

 

8. 

An atom is chemically unstable when its outer energy level contains all the electrons it can hold. _________________________

 

9. 

The chlorine atoms in hydrogen chloride have a stronger attraction for the electrons than the hydrogen atoms do. The hydrogen chloride molecule is therefore a nonpolar covalent molecule. _________________________

 

10. 

An element's oxidation number indicates how many electrons the element must gain, lose, or share to become stable. _________________________
