Question

Identify the following properties as ionic (9), covalent (7), or metallic (4).

High melting point: Usually found in a gaseous state: Brittle solids: Contains only nonmetals: Has a "sea of electrons": Contains a metal and a nonmetal: Uses prefixes when naming: Uses oxidation charges to form a bond: Contains a metal and a polyatomic: Compounds are known as molecules: Ductile: Have lattice structures: Uses Roman numerals when naming: Soluble in water: Creates nonelectrolytes Share electrons: Transfer electrons: Malleable: Structures are amorphous: Have delocalized electrons:

Answer 1

Here’s the classification of the properties you provided:

**Ionic (9)**:
1. High melting point
2. Brittle solids
3. Contains a metal and a nonmetal
4. Uses oxidation charges to form a bond
5. Contains a metal and a polyatomic
6. Soluble in water
7. Transfer electrons
8. Have lattice structures
9. Uses Roman numerals when naming

**Covalent (7)**:
1. Usually found in a gaseous state
2. Contains only nonmetals
3. Uses prefixes when naming
4. Compounds are known as molecules
5. Share electrons
6. Creates nonelectrolytes
7. Structures are amorphous

**Metallic (4)**:
1. Has a "sea of electrons"
2. Ductile
3. Malleable
4. Have delocalized electrons

This classification should help in understanding the properties associated with ionic, covalent, and metallic bonds.
