What is the smallest particle of a covalent compound that has the property of that compound?
A molecule is the smallest particle of a "compound" being that compounds are made up of more than one atom. The smallest particle of any "chemical element" that retains its properties would be the atom.
Compound that contains a double or a triple covalent bond?
Ethene, also called ethylene, is the simplest compound with a double covalent bond, and ethyne, also called acetylene, is the simples compound with a triple covalent bond.
What are the smallest units of covalent molecular compounds called?
Molecules
What is the ionic compound for SO3?
SO3 is a covalent compound, not ionic. It is called sulfur trioxide.
What are the uses for covalent compounds?
There are NO specific uses possible only by being 'covalent'. A compound actually can NOT be named 'COVALENT'. Only a special type of bonding is called 'covalent'.
