Usually, however, the are a few covalent compounds, such as silicon dioxide (SiO2) that form covalent networks rather than molecules.
Molecular. (Molecular and covalent compounds are the same).
Yes. They would just have different molecular formulas
Molecular bonds and covalent bonds are indeed the same thing, this is because covalent bonds share pairs of electrons with their neighbor atom(s), unlike ionic compounds. Ionic compounds(mostly salts) are held together due the difference of their electric load, the bigger the difference in loading the more powerful the bond will be. Another difference is that ionic compounds split into ions when they are dissolved into solution..
A molecule is two or more atoms bonded together.A compound is two or more different atoms bonded together therefore almost all compounds are molecular. A covalent compound is, therefore, usually a molecule with a specific type of bond in which the two (or more) atoms share electrons from their outer shells.Some covalent compounds don't form molecules, however, such as Silicon Dioxide which forms a covalent network..
Molecular substances have a lower melting and boiling point than Ionic. Also, molecular substances can be two non metals joined together where as Ionic it is a metal and nonmetal. Molecular substances have covalent bonds and Ionic have Ionic bonds.
Isomers.
because they have the same charge
P2S5 is molecular. The molecular formula is P4S10. It structure is the same as the molecular form of P2O5, which is P4O10. The compound is normally called simply phosphorus pentasulfide, however a more correct name diphosphorus pentasulfide.
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.
Covalent compounds and molecular compounds are the same thing if I recalled correctly, just different terms of calling it. And covalent bonds are the bonds formed by the sharing of electrons between two atoms, and they are the strong forces of attraction WITHIN the molecule.Please do not get it mixed up with the weak van der Waals' forces that is found BETWEEN molecules and is caused by a temporary shift of electrons to one side of the molecule, resulting in a slightly positive/negative end.
Chlorine, Cl2 is covalent. Any molecules which consist of two atoms of the same element must be covalent. In compounds with other elements chlorine can form ionic or covalent compounds.
Two compounds that have the same molecular formula but different structural formulas are isomers of each other.
