(A) true (B) false "If there are pure covalent bonds in a molecule, the molecule can be polar" is false. 6.Ionic compounds are most likely to be formed between. (A) metals and nonmetals (B) metals and metals (C) nonmetals and nonmetals (D) metals and semimetals (E) nonmetals and semimetals Ionic compounds are most likely to be formed between metals and nonmetals. 7.The relative ability of an atom in a molecule to attract electrons to itself is called. (A) ionization potential (B) metallic character (C) electron affinity Page 2 of 6
(D) ionization energy (E) electronegativity The relative ability of an atom in a molecule to attract electrons to itself is called electronegativity. 8.The lowest electronegativities are found in the of the periodic table. (A) upper left (B) lower left (C) upper right (D) lower right (E) middle The lowest electronegativities are found in the lower left of the periodic table. 9.The greater the difference in electronegativities between two atoms, the more likely the bond between them will be. (A) partially formed (B) very weak (D) ionic (E) polar covalent The greater the difference in electronegativities between two atoms, the more likely the bond between them will be ionic. 10.If the centers of partial positive charge and partial negative charge coincide (are in the same place), the molecule is polar. (A) true (B) false "If the centers of partial positive charge and partial negative charge coincide (are in the same place), the molecule is polar" is false. 11.Water is such a good solvent because its allow(s) it to be attracted to polar or ionic solutes. (A) bonds (B) polarity Page 3 of 6
(C) oxygen (D) hydrogen (E) density Water is such a good solvent because its polarity allow(s) it to be attracted to polar or ionic solutes. 12.Bonds in CF 4 are.
