Ionic, Covalent and Metallic Bonding – IGCSE Chemistry Topic Test

A ready-to-use 30-minute, 30-mark topic test on Ionic, Covalent and Metallic Bonding for Pearson Edexcel International GCSE Chemistry (4CH1), with a full mark scheme and a student self-assessment sheet. Print it and use it straight away.

What’s included

• Question paper: 5 exam-style questions in a familiar exam layout, getting harder as students work through
• Mark scheme with allow / ignore notes and the grade band for every question part
• Student RAG self-assessment sheet linked to each question
• Editable Word files and print-ready PDFs

Students practise how to:

• identify ionic, covalent and metallic bonding and define the bonds
• describe electron transfer and work out the formulae of ions and ionic compounds
• draw dot-and-cross diagrams for molecules and ions
• describe metallic bonding and explain conductivity and malleability
• work out ionic formulae from electron transfer

One paper for the whole class: 6 marks at grades 1–3, 15 marks at grades 4–6 and 9 marks at grades 7–9, so you can set it to mixed-ability groups or pick out sections.

Ideal for end-of-topic assessment, homework, revision lessons or cover work. Pairs with the free “Ionic, Covalent and Metallic Bonding” summary video on the Chemistry That Counts YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/hJYZFIEYiAk
