Year 10 Chemistry Quiz

Atoms and Compounds

• Atoms are the smallest units of matter that retain the properties of a chemical element, consisting of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
• Compounds are formed when two or more different atoms chemically bond together, resulting in a new substance with unique properties.
• Atoms in a compound share one or more electrons, whereas atoms in a molecule are held together by covalent bonds.

Valency in Chemistry

• Valency is the combining power of an atom, indicating the number of electrons an atom can gain, lose, or share to form a chemical bond.
• Valency is a measure of an atom's ability to form bonds with other atoms, helping to predict the number of bonds an atom can form.

Covalent and Ionic Bonding

• Covalent bonding occurs when two or more atoms share one or more pairs of electrons to form a molecule, resulting in a shared electron cloud.
• Ionic bonding occurs when one or more electrons are transferred from one atom to another, resulting in the formation of ions with opposite charges.
• Covalent bonds are typically found in molecules, while ionic bonds are typically found in crystalline solids.
• Covalent bonds are stronger than ionic bonds, but ionic bonds can be more stable due to the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions.
