Question

Select the type of bonding you would expect to find in each of the following substances.

a. Cr(s)
b. H2S(g)
c. CaO(s)

Answer 1

A. You will expect a Metallic bonding because it’s just a metal.

b. You will expect covalent bonding because it’s a bond between to non metal elements. A covalent bond is where they share electrons.

C. You will expect ionic bonding because it’s a bond between a solid and gas. A ionic bond is when the metal gives its electron to the non metal.

Answer 2

a) metallic bonds because Cr(s) is a solid metal

b) H2S(g) is a covalent compound so it would have covalent bonding

c) CaO(s) is an ionic compound so it would have ionic bonding
