No, they do not hold two compounds together. The forces that hold compounds together are intermolecular forces. Ionic and covalent bonds are intramolecular forces, and they hold the atoms of the molecule or formula unit together.

Do ionic or covalent bonds hold molecules in a crystal of a molecular substance in place?
It depends on the nature of the molecule. In the case of ionic compounds, ionic bond between the ions will hold the crystal together. In the case of covalent compounds, covalent bond will hold the molecules in the crystal together.
The chemical bonds that hold compounds together can be either?
covalent and ionic bonds
Why the melting and boiling point of covalent compound are low?
Compared to ionic compounds, covalent compounds have relatively low melting and boiling points because covalent bonds are not as strong as ionic bonds, and it is the bonds which hold materials together in the solid, or more solid phases.
An ionic bond is the force holding molecules together?
Ionic bonds do not hold molecules together all the time. Covalent bonds can also hold molecules together, so it isn't just ionic bonds that do that.
What are the three types of bonds that can form when two atoms share electrons?
When atoms share one pair of their electrons, a single covalent bond is formed between the atoms. Atoms that share two or three pairs of electrons form covalent double bonds or covalent triple bonds.

Do covalent bonds hold together ions or atoms?
Covalent bonds hold atoms together. Ionic bonds hold ions together
What kind of bonds hold together atoms in a molecule?
The bonds are ionic or covalent.
What bond hold atoms together?
Strong Force of Attraction called COVALENT BOND the attraction is due to the electronegativity There are 3 types of chemical bond IONIC COVALENT METTALIC
What kind of bond hold atoms together in molecules?
These bonds are ionic or covalent.
An ionic bond is the force holding molecules together?
Ionic bonds do not hold molecules together all the time. Covalent bonds can also hold molecules together, so it isn't just ionic bonds that do that.
What chemical bonds hold cinnamon together?
Organic compounds have covalent bonds.
Ionic bonds occur in inorganic compounds?
Ionic bonds do hold many inorganic compounds together (there are many covalently bonded inorganic compunds too) and organic compounds all contain carbon which always participates in a covalent bond.
Why are ionic compounds usually have high melting point while most simple covalent compounds have low melting point?
Ionic compounds are mad by ionic bonding The two parts of the compound ther for become one by means of moving electronioc and beoming stable there fore the bond and the compound is stronger that conalent compounds which just share the electrons needed for the two (or more ) elements to become a compound so they are weaker
