Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

How many covalent bonds does a nitrogen atom usually form?

  1. Three
  2. One
  3. Two
  4. Four
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: A — Three
Award 1 mark. Nitrogen has five outer electrons and needs three more to complete its outer shell, so it forms three covalent bonds. Carbon forms four, oxygen two and hydrogen one, following the same rule.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

How many covalent bonds does a hydrogen atom form?

  1. Four
  2. One
  3. Three
  4. Two
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: B — One
Award 1 mark. Hydrogen has a single electron and its first shell is complete with two, so it shares one pair and forms exactly one bond. This is why hydrogen appears only at the ends of a displayed formula, never in the middle of a chain.

AQA GCSE Chemistry: Bonding, structure and properties of matter: covalent bonding and simple molecular substances FAQ

Is Kramizo free for AQA GCSE students preparing for Chemistry?
Yes — completely free. Every student gets 45 questions a day on the free plan, with no card required and no trial countdown. That free quota works across every subject and every topic in our bank, so you can mix Bonding, structure and properties of matter: covalent bonding and simple molecular substances practice with other Chemistry topics or even switch to a totally different AQA subject without paying anything. Kramizo's optional Pro plan removes the daily cap and adds detailed progress analytics, but the free tier is the real product — used by thousands of GCSE, IGCSE and CSEC students.
Are the Bonding, structure and properties of matter: covalent bonding and simple molecular substances questions aligned to the official AQA GCSE Chemistry syllabus?
Every question is written against the published AQA GCSE Chemistry specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real AQA paper. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes — they tell you what is being awarded marks and why distractors are wrong, not just whether you got it right. The bank is continually refined to match the latest syllabus updates from AQA.
How is Bonding, structure and properties of matter: covalent bonding and simple molecular substances typically tested on AQA GCSE Chemistry papers?
Bonding, structure and properties of matter: covalent bonding and simple molecular substances appears across multiple question types on real AQA GCSE Chemistry papers — most commonly as multiple-choice questions in the objective section, structured short-answer questions in the main paper, and occasionally as part of an extended response. Kramizo's practice bank reflects that mix: 4-option MCQs, true/false statements, fill-in-the-blank key terms, multi-select questions, and ordering questions. Working through the bank gives you exposure to every question style examiners actually use.
