Chemical bonds are too small to see, but some covalent compounds, such as gem stones, display luster.

What does luster depend on?

Luster depends on the interaction of light with the surface of a mineral. It is determined by the mineral's ability to reflect and refract light, which is influenced by the mineral's crystal structure, transparency, and smoothness of its surface. Minerals with metallic bonds typically have a metallic luster, while those with covalent or ionic bonds may display non-metallic luster.


Do covalent compounds display luster?

Yes. The question is what TYPE of luster. Luster is, to put it in layman's terms, a description of how "shiny" something is. Everything has a luster; it could be metallic, greasy, or flat.


How are electrons shared in nonpolor covalent bond?

Electrons in nonpolar covalent bonds are shared equally between the atoms involved. Covalent bonds between atoms of the same element display this kind of bond. However, bonds between atoms of different atoms can be nonpolar as well. Such bonds include the covalent bond between carbon and hydrogen.


What are covalent bonds called after the bonds are formed?

After covalent bonds are formed, they are still referred to as covalent bonds. Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms to achieve stability.


What are the different types of chemical bonds?

Ionic bonds, Covalent bonds, Hydrogen bonds, Polar Covalent bonds, Non-Polar Covalent bonds, and Metallic bonds.


Do covalent bonds have a charge?

No, covalent bonds do not have a charge.


Atoms that share electrons have..bonds?

Covalent.


What is the two main type of bonds?

The two main types of chemical bonds are ionic and covalent.


What are the 2 types of covalent bonds?

The two types of covalent bonds are polar covalent bonds and nonpolar covalent bonds. Polar covalent bonds occur when the atoms share electrons unequally, leading to a slight charge separation. Nonpolar covalent bonds form when atoms share electrons equally.


What contain polar bonds P4 H2S NO2 S22?

P4: Nonpolar covalent bonds. H2S: Polar covalent bonds. NO2: Polar covalent bonds. S2Cl2: Nonpolar covalent bonds.


Do covalent bonds dissolve in methanol?

Covalent bonds do not "dissolve" in methanol. Covalent bonds are intramolecular bonds formed by sharing of electrons between atoms within a molecule. Methanol can form hydrogen bonds with certain compounds, but it does not dissolve covalent bonds.


What are ions formed by covalent bonds?

Ions are formed in the case of ionic bonds and not covalent bonds.
