Questions and Answers

What term describes the property of an element to form four chemical bonds with other atoms?

  • Univalency
  • Trivalency
  • Bivalency
  • Tetravlency (correct)

    • Which of the following is a common misconception about tetravlency?

  • It is not influenced by the atomic structure of the element.
  • It allows the element to form only three chemical bonds.
  • It is a property observed in noble gases. (correct)
  • It is related to the valency of an element.

    • How does tetravlency impact the reactivity of an element?

  • Decreases reactivity as it stabilizes the element.
  • Causes the element to be chemically inert.
  • Increases reactivity due to more available bonding sites. (correct)
  • Has no effect on the reactivity of an element.
