SHORT ANSWERS
1. Decide if the description represents IONIC bonding or COVALENT bonding
_______________________It is a non conductor of electricity, whether it exists as a solid,
melted, or dissolved in water.
_______________________It is a nonelectrolyte in the solid form, but it can become a good
conductor when melted or dissolved in water.
_______________________The building blocks of this type of compound are called molecules.
_______________________The electrons are transferred from one element to another to form
this type of bond.
________________________The electrons are shared in between elements in this type of bond.
2. Rank from ionic, covalent and metallic from strongest to weakest strength between
molecules
