What type(s) of bonding would be expected for each of the following materials: solid xenon, calcium fluoride (caf2), bronze, cadmium telluride (cdte), rubber, and tungsten?

The force of attraction due to which the atoms or ions are held together in a molecule or crystal is said be bonding.  The formation of a bond can take place by either transfer of electrons or attraction of electrons. There are single, double, and triple bonds.  There are various types of bonding namely:

Ionic bonding: in which transfer of electrons takes place.

Covalent bonding: in which sharing of electrons takes place.

Metallic bonding: ionized atoms of metals and the sea of electrons around them.

Only xenon atoms are present in solid xenon which are interacted by weak Van der Waal's interactions.

Calcium fluoride is formed by complete transfer of electrons from calcium to fluorine and the force of attraction between them is electrostatic. So, the bonding is ionic bonding.

Bronze is an alloy of metal that is copper and tin. Hence, the metallic bonding is present in the brass.

On the basis of the position in periodic table, the bonding in cadmium telluride is covalent in nature with slight ionic character.

It is a polymer whose monomer unit is isoprene, which is a covalent compound. The isoprene units are attached in repeated units to form rubber by covalent bonding.

The tungsten is in its elemental form and the interaction that hold atoms together in tungsten is metallic.

qualitative observation deals with data that can be observed with our senses: sight, smell, touch, taste, and hearing. they do not involve measurements or numbers. for instance, colors, shapes, and textures of objects are all qualitative observations.
