Match the element pairs with their MOST LIKELY bond category. (5 points) Covalent Bond Ionic Bond Metallic Bond bromine and aluminum, nitrogen and sodium, oxgyen and hydrogen, copper and copper, fluorine and sulfur

Answer 1

Here are the matches for the element pairs and their most likely bond categories:

1. Bromine and Aluminum - Ionic Bond (bromine is a nonmetal and aluminum is a metal)
2. Nitrogen and Sodium - Ionic Bond (sodium is a metal and nitrogen is a nonmetal)
3. Oxygen and Hydrogen - Covalent Bond (both are nonmetals and share electrons)
4. Copper and Copper - Metallic Bond (between two metals)
5. Fluorine and Sulfur - Covalent Bond (both are nonmetals and share electrons)

So the final matches are:

• Bromine and Aluminum: Ionic Bond
• Nitrogen and Sodium: Ionic Bond
• Oxygen and Hydrogen: Covalent Bond
• Copper and Copper: Metallic Bond
• Fluorine and Sulfur: Covalent Bond
