Such compounds can have either a giant or a simple molecular structure. Cellulose is an example of a material with a giant structure, and carbon monoxide has a very simple one.

Is formula C60 a simple molecular substance or a giant covalent structure?
That's a very good question and there are arguments for both. I would class it more as a simple molecular substance because a sample will contain many separate molecules, with forces other than covalent bonds between them. A giant covalent structure like diamond is wholly held together by covalent bonds.
Which formula represents a substance that contains covalent bonds?
A pure compound which contains covalent bonds is CO2 gas that you breathe out. Another example found in every day life is water.
What is the difference between ionic and molecular compound?
Ionic compounds contain ionic compounds whereas molecular compounds contain covalent bonds in their molecules.
Can electrons exist in a covalent compound in an unpaired state?
Yes, some molecular compounds such as nitrogen dioxide (NO2) contain unpaired electrons.
What substances contains a nonpolar covalent bond mgf2 nacl nh3 h2o n2?
MgF2 and NaCl are ionic. NH3 and H2O contain polar covalent bonds. N2 contains non polar covalent bond.
Is NO molecular or ionic?
Molecules of NO2 contain covalent bonds

How many ring structure can be found in the molecular structure of a hormone?
Steroid hormone usually contain five ring structures.
Can non polar covalent conduct electricy when melted?
No. Covalent molecular compounds generally from liquids that contain the neutral molcules. These will not be affected by an electric field and therefore no electricity will be conducted.

MgF2 and NaCl are ionic. NH3 and H2O contain polar covalent bonds. N2 contains non polar covalent bond.

Does neon gas contain one kind of atom?
its a pure substance.......an element in the periodic table.........it does not have covalent bonds with other substances........
Is oil an ionic or covalent bond?
Oils are complex mixtures of many organic compounds (nonionic compounds). All chemical compounds contain molecules.
Is h20 molecular or ionic?
Water molecules contain covalent bonds. Water auto-ionises to form hydrated H+ and hydroxyl ions often written as:- H2O <-> H+(aq) +OH-
What happens when covalent compounds are mixed with water?
If the compounds are polar covalent then they are soluble in water . If they contain high electronegative element like F,O and N ,water can form inter molecular hydrogen bond with those compounds.
