Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

Which of the following best describes ionic bonding?

  1. The sharing of electrons between two non-metal atoms
  2. The transfer of electrons from a metal atom to a non-metal atom
  3. The attraction between two atoms sharing a pair of electrons
  4. The attraction between molecules due to temporary dipoles
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: BThe transfer of electrons from a metal atom to a non-metal atom
Award 1 mark for identifying ionic bonding as the transfer of electrons from a metal to a non-metal atom. A is incorrect — this describes covalent bonding. C is incorrect — this also describes covalent bonding. D is incorrect — this describes van der Waals forces between molecules.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

Which of the following ions would be formed when a calcium atom loses electrons during ionic bond formation?

  1. Ca⁻
  2. Ca²⁻
  3. Ca⁺
  4. Ca²⁺
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: DCa²⁺
Award 1 mark for Ca²⁺. Calcium is in Group II and has 2 electrons in its outer shell; it loses both to achieve a stable octet, forming a 2+ ion. A and B are incorrect — metals lose electrons and form positive ions, not negative. C is incorrect — calcium loses 2 electrons, not 1.

CXC CSEC Chemistry: Ionic Bonding FAQ

How many CXC CSEC Chemistry questions on Ionic Bonding are there on Kramizo?
Kramizo currently has 20 exam-board-aligned practice questions on Ionic Bonding for CXC CSEC Chemistry, with new questions added every week. Each question gives you instant feedback and a full examiner-style mark scheme that tells you exactly what would earn marks on a real CXC paper. The questions span the full difficulty range — from straightforward recall (level 1) right up to multi-step reasoning and evaluation (level 3) — so the bank works for first-pass revision and final exam-week stress testing alike.
Is Kramizo free for CXC CSEC 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 Ionic Bonding practice with other Chemistry topics or even switch to a totally different CXC 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 Ionic Bonding questions aligned to the official CXC CSEC Chemistry syllabus?
Every question is written against the published CXC CSEC Chemistry specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real CXC 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 CXC.
How is Ionic Bonding typically tested on CXC CSEC Chemistry papers?
Ionic Bonding appears across multiple question types on real CXC CSEC 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.
