Answer:
1. Metallic bonds are responsible for many properties of metals, such as conductivity. Why is this possible?
*The bonds can shift because valence electrons are held loosely and move freely.*
2. Between which types of elements do ionic bonds occur, and how do electrons act within the bond?
*metals and nonmetals, electrons transferred*
3. Which kind of bond would occur between sodium (Na, Group IA) and chlorine (Cl, Group VIIA)?
*ionic*
4. Which type of bond and how many bonds would occur as carbon dioxide (CO2) is formed from carbon in Group IVA and oxygen in Group VIA?
*four covalent bonds*
5. How many covalent bonds is nitrogen (Group 5A) likely to form?
*three*
