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.

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.
