Chemical Bonding Quiz

Chemical Bonding Quiz is built around the invisible glue that holds matter together. In 1913, Niels Bohr proposed a model of the atom where electrons orbited the nucleus in defined energy levels. It wasn’t perfect, but it sparked new thinking about how atoms connected with one another. The model made it easier to imagine how bonds might form through shared or transferred electrons. That idea still guides how we talk about ionic and covalent bonds today. This quiz touches on various chemical bonding questions and uses straightforward examples to explore familiar types of chemical bonds. You’ll also see mentions of valence electrons and how they relate to atomic behaviour in bonding.

Chemical Bonding

What is a chemical bond?
