What is a particle made of covalently bonded atoms?
A molecule, usually.
Are the atoms in one water molecule covalently bonded to atoms in a neighbouring water molecule?
No, the atoms within a given water molecule are covalently bonded to each other, but the molecules are not covalently bonded to other water molecules. Instead they have what is called a coordinate covalent bond. In a covalent bond, atoms share electrons. In a coordinate covalent bond, there is no sharing of electrons but there are regions of electric charge (water molecules have a positive and a negative end to them due to the pattern in which the electrons are distributed) and that causes an electrostatic attraction.
Does h20 represent a molecule?
Yes, it does. It is composed of 2 Hydrogen ions covalently bonded (bent shape) to one Oxygen ion. Since they are covalently bonded, it is a molecule.
What is the difference between a sulfur molecule and a sulfur dioxide molecule?
A sulfur molecule is 2 sulfur atoms covalently bonded. A sulfur dioxide molecule is a sulfur atom and 2 oxygen atoms covalently bonded.
Is a diamond a covalent bond?
Damond is covalently bonded, a giant molecule
What is a particle made of covalently bonded atoms?

How does a covalently bonded molecule holds itself together?
Covalent bonds are formed by atoms sharing valence electrons.

When bonded covalently N2 has how many unbonded electrons?
The s electrons in N2 are unbonded; there are four of them in each nitrogen atom and therefore 8 in the molecule N2.
What is the smallest unit of a covalently bonded substances.?
molecule
Two or more atoms covalently bonded is a?
A Molecule
Does h20 represent a molecule?
Yes, it does. It is composed of 2 Hydrogen ions covalently bonded (bent shape) to one Oxygen ion. Since they are covalently bonded, it is a molecule.
What is the difference between a sulfur molecule and a sulfur dioxide molecule?
A sulfur molecule is 2 sulfur atoms covalently bonded. A sulfur dioxide molecule is a sulfur atom and 2 oxygen atoms covalently bonded.
What is a neutral particle that forms as a result of electron sharing?
A neutral particle formed when atoms share electrons?
What does O₂ H₂ N₂ mean?
O=O A molecule/diatomic atom of gaseous oxygen. Covalently double bonded. H-H A molecule/diatomic atom of gaseous hydrogen. Covalently single bonded. N to N A molecule/diatomic atom of gaseous nitrogen. Covalently triple bonded.
What is it called when 2 or more atoms that are covalently bonded?
a molecule
How does the outer shells of two atoms that are covalently bonded?
In a covalently bonded molecule, atoms are bonded by the sharing of their electrons. When Oxygen combines with two Hydrogen, H2O is formed by two covalent bonds. Oxygen, which has 6 outer electrons, needs to gain two electrons to form a completely stable octet of electrons. Each of the Hydrogen atoms requires a single electron to complete its outer level of electrons. The resulting molecule is a angularly bonded molecule of water with two double covalent bonds: O <- oxygen shares 1 electron with each hydrogen atom // \\ <-double covalent bond H H They overlap
