C
made of cations and anions that are attracted to each other
D
good conductors at room temperature
5) Resonance occurs when
A
there are multiple multiple Lewis structures to accurately represent the arrangement of atoms in a molecule.
B
the Lewis structure of a molecule has a central atom with an incomplete octet.
C
the Lewis structure of the molecule has a central atom with an expanded octet.
D
there is not Lewis structure to accurately represent the arrangements of atoms in a molecule.

A
none of the above.
B
formula unit.
C
structural formula.
D
molecular formula.
7) When writing the Lewis structure for a positive polyatomic ion, you should _______________ the total number of valence electrons available for bonding.

not use the ion's charge to change
C
add the ion charge to
D
subtract the ion's charge from
8) In general,
A
the fewer the electron pairs that are shared, the stronger the bond.
B
the number of electrons shared has no effect on length or strength of a bond.
C
the more electron pairs that are shared, the stronger the bond.
D
triple bonds are longer than single bonds.

the negatively charged electrons will repel each other in molecules, to create a specific shapes.
C
the shapes of molecules are random and unpredictable.
