Practice Exam

1. The document appears to be a practice exam for a chemistry course covering topics like Lewis dot structures, ionic compounds, covalent bonding, and the octet rule. It contains 11 multiple choice questions testing understanding of these concepts. 2. Questions cover topics such as what type of ions form ionic compounds, how polar covalent bonds are formed, the number of electrons shared in specific molecules, and which statement is true about covalent bonds. 3. The exam also includes direct questions about comparing properties of ionic vs. covalent compounds and identifying incorrect Lewis structures for various molecules.
