TYPES OF BONDING & COMPOUNDS WORKSHEET
I.
Fill in the blanks below and use your notes on Chemical Bonding to help.
1. There are three types of bonds. Ionic bonds are formed between a ______________________ element
and a ______________________ element. ______________________ bonds are formed between 2
nonmetals and lastly there are ______________________ bonds that are formed between
______________________.
2. Ionic bonds form a ______________________ of repeating positive and negative ions while
______________________ bonds ______________________ their electrons forming molecules which
can be ______________________ when e- are shared equally or can be ______________________
when e- are shared unequally.
3. Most ionic compounds have ______________________ melting and boiling point temperatures while
covalent compounds have ______________________ melting and boiling point temperatures.
4. Hydrogen is one of the seven ______________________ elements that exist in nature as two atoms of
that element bonded together and are ______________________ because it shares its electrons
equally.
II.
Identify the type of bond [ionic (I), covalent (C), or metallic (M) bond] that would be formed between the
following pairs of elements.
