Multiple choice chemistry chemical bond and chemical equation properties of covalent compounds types of bonds and properties covalent bond

Which of the following is good conductor of electricity?

  1. Diamond

  2. Graphite

  3. Lamp black

  4. Characoal
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Graphite is an allotrope (a different structural form) of carbon (so is diamond), but unlike diamond, graphite can conduct electricity. The reason is that graphite consists of flat hexagons, all liked together in a flat plane. The carbons in the hexagons have delocalized pi bonding (pi bonds, along with a sigma bond, make up a double bond) which allows electrons to easily move from atom to atom making it a good conductor of electricity.

Which of the following is used as lubricant ?

  1. Graphite

  2. Charcoal

  3. Diamond

  4. Coke

A Correct answer
Explanation

Graphite is a mineral made of loosely bonded sheets of carbon atoms, giving it a slippery texture that makes it a very effective lubricant. This slippery quality also makes graphite a good material for pencil lead because it easily sloughs off onto paper.

Multiple choice chemistry chemical bond and chemical equation properties of covalent compounds types of bonds and properties covalent bond

Covalent compounds have generally low melting and boiling points.

  1. True

  2. False
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Covalent bond have weak intermolecular forces, that is to say, the forces between molecules is very weak. The consequence of this, is that it becomes easy to move individual molecules away from other molecules as the bonding between molecules is weak, hence it needs little energy to break. Since temperature is proportional to energy, that means the temperature required to melt the compound is low.
Thus option "A" is correct.

Covalent compounds are usually water soluble.

  1. True

  2. False
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

A covalent bond is formed between non metal atoms, which combine together by sharing electrons. covalent compounds have low melting points, do not dissolve in water, and do not conduct an electric current in solution that make them non-polar. 
Thus, Option "B" is correct.

Which of the following is not a characteristic of a covalent compound :-

  1. It has low melting point and boiling point

  2. It is formed between two atoms having no or very small electronegativity difference

  3. They have no definit geometry

  4. They are generally insouble in water

C Correct answer
Explanation

 Covalent bonds are directional, meaning that atoms so bonded prefer specific orientations relative to one another, hence they have distinct geometries.

Which of the following statements is not true about covalent compounds:-

  1. They may exhibit space isomersim

  2. They have-low melting and boiling points

  3. They show ionic reaction

  4. They show molecular reaction
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Covalent compounds do not show ionic reaction. 


Example: Free radical halogenation of alkanes in the presence of sunlight.
Hydrogenation of alkenes.

Which of the following represents the correct increasing order of forces of attraction between the molecules?

  1. Oxygen, Sodium chloride, Mercury, Water, Hydrogen chloride

  2. Oxygen, Hydrogen chloride, Water, Mercury, Sodium chloride

  3. Oxygen, Water, Hydrogen chloride, Mercury, Sodium chloride

  4. Oxygen, Mercury, Water, Hydrogen chloride, Sodium chloride
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The increasing order of forces of attraction between the molecules can be written as;
$O _{2}$(weak Van der waal forces) < HCl( dipole-dipole interactions) < $H _{2}O$( hydrogen bonding) < Hg( metallic bond) < NaCl (ionic bonding)

Compounds evaporating easily and giving off a smell are?

  1. Ionic compounds

  2. Covalent bonds

  3. Metallic bonds

  4. Diatic bonds
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Covalent compounds have negligible forces of attraction and these are gases e.g. $HCl$, sulfur dioxide,carbon dioxide and methane. There are weak forces of attraction and such covalent substances are low boiling temperature liquids such as ethanol so boils rapidly and gives off smell.
