What are some properties of covalent crystals?
Covalent crystals are atoms held together in an extensive three-dimensional network entirely by covalent bonds. Two examples are diamond and graphite (pencil lead)
Are covalent bond flexible?
Single covalent bonds are usually flexible, but when the bonds form an extended three-dimensional structure they can become very inflexible, as in diamond.
Why could covalent bonds not be used in place of non covalent bonds to mediate most of interactions with macromolecules?
because covalent bond involve sharing pair of electrons and non covalent bond involve more dispersed variations of elctromagnetic interactions which maintain the three dimensional structure of molecule
Why are there different ways of drawing covalent bonds?
One major reason is that the bonds are actually in three dimensional space, but most drawings utilize only two dimensions, and no two dimensional drawing can exactly and fully represent a three dimensional reality.
What type of bond does aluminum trifluoride have?
Solid aluminium trifluoride has a three dimensional structure which is surprisingly not well understood. It is probaly mainly ionic. AlF3 in the gas phase is covalent with a planar structure.

What type of bond between amino acid?
Covalent Bonds.
Which chemical bonds are characterized by very intermolecular forces and often account for the complex three dimensional arrangements in proteins and nucleic acids?
covalent (peptide) bond and hydrogen bonding
Why does Iodine have a low boiling point but diamond has a high boiling point?
Diamond is an allotrope of carbon where all the carbon atoms are tetrahedrally bonded with each other forming a three dimensional covalent network. Since the bonds are strong (covalent, network), diamond has a very high melting point and boiling point. Iodine does not have three dimensional network and hence has very low melting/ boiling point. It fact, it will sublime at room temperature.
What are the functions of an electron in an atom?
They counteract the positive charge of the proton and keep the atom stable. Also involved in covalent and ionic bonding. Essentially massless
What is a function of the rough endoplasm reticulum?
Protein synthesis

Is SCI3 covalent or ionic?
