Yes.... they are very strong, and almost impossible to break. Diamond is an example of a compound made up of covalently bonded carbons

Does making chemical bonds release or require energy?
Breaking bonds requires energy.
What is required on order to melt a network solid?
Breaking covalent bonds throughout the solid would be required to melt a network solid.
What type of reaction would be faster one involving covalent or ionic bonds?
If all the bonds involved in the reaction are ionic, the reaction occurs in solution, and no new covalent bonds need to be formed, the reaction would usually be faster than an average reaction that requires breaking covalent bonds. However, there are many exceptions. For example, reactions of elemental fluorine with almost anything else, which require breaking of fluorine to fluorine covalent bonds, are usually very fast.
When an organic solid is melted are covalent bonds broken?
no. melting is a physical change and does not involve breaking of covalent bonds
Does Covalent bonds that form between atoms require a large amount of energy in order to lose an electron?
Yes it does
What do all reactions require for chemical bonds to begin breaking down?
To break bonds you must provide an external source of energy.
What is required to melt a network solid?
breaking covalent bonds
Why sodium has a high melting temperature?
Because the covalent bonds between the atoms are strong and require a lot of energy to break.
When covalent bonds are broken energy is released?
No, energy is consumed.
Why is the melting point for ionic compounds higher then the melting point of molecular compounds?
Ionic bonds are stronger than covalent bonds and therefore require more energy to break.
What kind or chemical bond are the high energy bonds Ionic or Covalent?
As a generalization, ionic bonds are much stronger than covalent bonds.
What would provide the body with most energy?
breaking the bonds in a disaccharide/ polysaccharide
