Question

Match the LIST-I with LIST-II 

LIST-I (Bonds)	LIST-II (Formations)
A. Ionic Bonds	Actual transfer of electrons from one atom to another atom
B. Metallic Bonds	Partial sharing of valence electrons by the neighboring atoms
C. Van der Waals Bonds	This type of bonding arises from dipolar interaction of crystals/molecules of the crystal.
D. Hydrogen Bonds	This type of interaction between the oppositely charged ends of permanently polarized molecules.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. A - I, B - II, C - III, D - IV
• B. A - II, B - I, C - IV, D - III
• C. A - I, B - II, C - IV, D - III
• D. A - III, B - IV, C - I, D - II

Hint:

To solve matching questions, start with the most distinct and unambiguous pairs. Here, "Ionic Bonds" and "Actual transfer of electrons" (A-II) is a very clear match. This can help eliminate incorrect options quickly. Then match the next clearest pair, like Hydrogen Bonds (D-III).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Concept Overview:
The task is to match chemical bond types with their corresponding descriptions.
Step 2: Detailed Explanation:
A. Ionic Bonds: Formed by electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions due to complete electron transfer. Matches description II.
B. Metallic Bonds: Involve a 'sea' of delocalized electrons shared among positive metal ions. Description I, "Partial sharing of valence electrons by the neighboring atoms," is the closest, although more representative of covalent bonds. Metallic bonding is presented as a form of electron sharing within the given options.
C. Van der Waals Bonds: Weak bonds arising from temporary or permanent dipoles. Description IV, "This type of bonding arises from dipolar interaction of crystals/molecules of the crystal," suitably describes these forces.
D. Hydrogen Bonds: Strong dipole-dipole interaction between a hydrogen atom bonded to a highly electronegative atom (N, O, F) and another nearby electronegative atom. Matches description III, interaction between permanently polarized molecules.
Step 3: Solution:
The correct matches are:

A \(\rightarrow\) II
B \(\rightarrow\) I
C \(\rightarrow\) IV
D \(\rightarrow\) III
This corresponds to option (B).
