No, dissolving does not break covalent bonds. The molecules separate because intermolecular forces such as dipole-dipole attractions are disrupted.

The bonds are called covalent molecular bonds.

Molecules of NO2 contain covalent bonds


What type of bonds form within a water molecule?

Within a water molecule is covalent bonds. between water molecules are hydrogen bonds.


Are molecular and covalent bonds the same?

Molecular and covalent bonds aren't really the same. It is chemical bonds that hold molecules together. These chemical bonds might be called molecular bonds, and they come in two basic flavors: ionic bonds and covalent bonds. A molecular bond might be covalent, but it might be ionic, and that's the difference.


What Compared to a solid the molecular bonds of a liquid are .?

This question does not make sense. Liquids are not molecules . If there are molecules in a liquid for example a covalent molecular compound such as CCl4 the strength of the molecular C-Cl bonds are the same whether the molecule finds itself in a liquid, solid or gas. What is true is that in a liquid the intermolecular bonds are weaker than the bonds within molecules, the intramolecular bonds..

Covalent bonds types: in molecules, in molecular structures, in macromolecules.


Why do elements form ionic and or covalent bonds?

Covalent or molecular compounds form when elements share electrons in a covalent bond to create molecules.


What do molecular bonds dissolve in?

Molecular bonds don't "dissolve". But, an organic solvent can provide affinity to the molecules you wish to break apart from EACH OTHER...as molecules. Solvents don't break covalent bonds like that. For example, you can dissolve wax in oil, because the wax will DISPERSE within the oil..but the wax molecules will remain wax. If you break the covalent bonds...it would no longer remain wax. Catalysts can break bonds....or some type of replacement reaction of functional groups on a molecule. Okay?
