Match the type of atomic bond with the correct definition.
 
  A) Valence electrons are free to move from one atom to another so all atoms share available valence electrons, creating an electron sea.
  B) Incomplete transfer of electrons that results in atoms partially transferring and partially sharing electrons.
  C) One atom gives up one or more valence electrons to another atom.
  D) Chemical bonds created by sharing a pair of electrons between atoms.
 
  1) Ionic bond
  2) Covalent bond
  3) Metallic bond
  4) Hybrid bond

Answer to Question 1

Answers: 1) C 2) D 3) A 4) B

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The molecular bonds in a mineral that has good cleavage will be strong in one direction. However, they will be weaker in another direction, allowing for parting along a plane of weakness with the right application of pressure. A mineral that generally fractures, however, tends to have mineral bonds that are equally strong in all directions.

Did you know?

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
