Covalent bond.
Actually I think it's hydrogen bonds. I do not believe covanlent bonds contribute to structure at all. Think about the bonds between water molecules. The oxygen atom in a water molecule has a slightly negative charge, whereas the hydrogens have slightly postitive charges. When another water molecule comes along the opposite charges are attracted to one another thus giving the molecules a specfic structure. I don't know if this is a very good example, but it is the easiest way of explaining it without getting into specifics.

What are the molecules has a bent shape?
Water molecules have a bent shape.
What general shape do water molecules have?
The general shape is "bent".
The properties of solid liquid and gases?
Solid molecules are rigid and has a shape. Liquid molecules are less rigid than solid and the molecules move. Gases have no shape and its molecules are free floating and move at rapid speeds against each other.
What is large molecules to small molecules called?
cell wall
Does molecules in a gas spread out to fill a container?
Which is NOT true? 1. Molecules in a gas are close together compared to their large molecular size. 2. A solid has a set shape and volume. 3. Molecules in a gas spread out to fill their container. 4. Molecules in a liquid have more freedom of movement than those in a solid. 5. Molecules in a solid are close together.
The stability of the three-dimensional shape of many large molecules is dependent on?
The stability of the three-dimensional shape of many large molecules is dependent on Hydrogen Bonds.
What bonds usually hold large molecules in their 3-dimensional shape teriary structure?
Hydrogen Bonds
What affects the shape of molecules?
The chemical compositon and the chemical bonds affect the shape of molecules..
What general shape do molecules have?
The general shape is "bent".
How do you determine the shape of molecules?
round, as in the shape of a circle or earth
What is the evidence that molecules of g as large spaces between them compared to liquids and solids?
well,.....for gas when it is heated the molecules spread and have power and become into vapor, and compared to liquid and solid it is larger because liquid is a not a solid and does not have a fixed shape, and a solid has a fixed shape and gas can be put into anything!
What controls the passage of molecules in and out of the cell?
Cell membrance
What are the molecules has a bent shape?
Water molecules have a bent shape.
What are lipids of large molecules?
Lipids are fats, or to be technical, they are non-polar organic molecules. They do form large molecules but they do not polymerize.
Why is trigonometry important for chemistry?
Some chemical reactions depend on the shape of molecules and the study of the shape of molecules - requires knowledge of trigonometry.
What kind of molecules cannot pass into your blood?
Large Food Molecules in The Small Intestine!
Explain what determines the viscosity of a liquid?
the shape and size of the molecules that the fluid consists of, if they are big, wavy molecules then the liquid will be viscous because the molecules struggle to move over each other.
