1. High solubility of alcohol in water is due to the formation of   covalent bonds.   paramagnetic bonds.   hydrogen bonds.   ionic bonds.   Hint Half-n-half Clue   2. The aim of bonding is to attain   higher charge.   the nearest noble gas structure.   lower stability.   higher potential energy.   Half-n-half Clue   3. How many electrons are required in the outermost shell of an element for it to be stable?   8   2   6   4   Half-n-half Clue   4. An atom which loses an electron forms   a covalent bond.   a polymer.   an anion.   a cation.   Half-n-half Clue   5. Inert gases do not react with any other element because   their nucleus is very small.   the temperature is not high enough.   the pressure is not high enough.   their outermost electron level is filled with 8 electrons.   Half-n-half Clue   6. A chemical bond formed by exchange of electrons is called   an ionic bond.   a hydrate bond.   a covalent bond.   a magnetic bond.   Half-n-half Clue   7. In an ionic bond, the two elements   borrow electrons.   polarize electrons.   share electrons.   exchange electrons.   Half-n-half Clue
