Molecular and covalent bonds aren't really the same. It is chemical bonds that hold molecules together. These chemical bonds might be called molecular bonds, and they come in two basic flavors: ionic bonds and covalent bonds. A molecular bond might be covalent, but it might be ionic, and that's the difference.

Are covalent molecular compounds ductile?

No, covalent molecular compounds are typically not ductile because they are made up of individual molecules held together by covalent bonds. These compounds have a molecular structure that does not allow for the same type of malleability or flexibility as metallic or ionic compounds.

Molecular bonds have what kind of bonds?

"Bonds" do not "have" bonds, because they are bonds themselves. The questioner may have meant to ask, "Molecular compounds have what type of bonds?", and the answer to that question is "covalent bonds".

Does ammonia have covalent molecular bonds?

Ammonia (NH3) has covalent molecular bonds because the nitrogen and hydrogen atoms share electrons to form a stable molecule. Covalent bonds are formed through the sharing of electrons between atoms.


Is Nitrogen dioxide molecular or ionic?

Nitrogen dioxide is a molecular compound. It consists of covalent bonds between nitrogen and oxygen atoms.


Is Glucose covalent molecular or covalent network?

Glucose is a covalent molecular compound. It consists of individual glucose molecules joined together by covalent bonds between the atoms within each molecule. Covalent network compounds involve an extended network of covalent bonds extending throughout the structure, which is not the case for glucose.
