Question 21
What is the fundamental difference between covalent and ionic bonding?
| In a covalent bond, the partners share a pair of electrons; in an ionic bond, one partner accepts electrons from the other. |
| Covalent bonds form between atoms of the same element; ionic bonds form between atoms of different elements. |
| Covalent bonding involves only the outermost electron shell; ionic bonding also involves the next electron shell inside the outermost shell. |
| In covalent bonding, both partners end up with filled outer electron shells; in ionic bonding, one partner does and the other does not. |
Question 22
Which of the following statements regarding the oxygen atom of a water molecule is true?
| Oxygen attracts electrons less strongly than the hydrogen atoms. |
| Oxygen is more positively charged than the hydrogen atoms. |
| Oxygen is attracted to the negatively charged atoms of other molecules. |
| Oxygen is more electronegative than the hydrogen atoms. |
Question 23
In a water molecule, hydrogen and oxygen are held together by a ________ bond.
| nonpolar covalent |
| hydrogen |
| polar covalent |
| double covalent |
Question 24
The hydrogen atoms of a water molecule are bonded to the oxygen atom by ________ bonds, whereas neighboring water molecules are held together by ________ bonds.
| polar covalent; ionic |
| ionic; covalent |
| polar covalent; hydrogen |
| hydrogen; polar covalent |
Question 25
Which of the following statements regarding chemical reactions is false?
| Some chemical reactions create electrons; others destroy them. |
| The reactants contain the same number of atoms as the products. |
| Chemical reactions involve the making and breaking of chemical bonds. |
| Although the atoms of a reaction's reactants and products are identical to each other, their molecular formulas differ. |
Question 26
The tendency of water molecules to stick together is referred to as
| adhesion. |
| cohesion. |
| polarity. |
| transpiration. |
Question 27
As ice melts
| water molecules become less tightly packed. |
| the water becomes less dense. |
| heat is released. |
| hydrogen bonds are broken. |
Question 28
A solution with a pH of 7 is
| weakly acidic. |
| weakly basic. |
| strongly acidic. |
| neutral. |
Question 29
Compared to a solution of pH 3, a solution of pH 1 is
| 10 times more basic. |
| 10 times more acidic. |
| 100 times more acidic. |
| 100 times more basic. |
Question 30
Which of the following statements about pH is true?
| An increase in hydrogen ion concentration means a decrease in pH scale units. |
| A single unit change on the pH scale is equivalent to a 1% change in hydrogen ion concentration. |
| Basic pH levels are less than 7. |
| The pH scale is a measure of oxygen ion concentration. |
