The chemical formula of ethanol is C2H5OH which shows that it is a hydrocarbon and belongs to the family of Alcohols. All of the bonds in CH3CH2OH are predominately covalent. The C-C bonds are nearly 100% covalent. The C-H bonds are very covalent and C-O bonds and O-H bonds are covalent but a bit more polar, with the O-H bond being the most polar of all of the covalent bonds.
If you go beyond a single molecule of ethanol, there is hydrogen bonding between molecules. The attraction between molecules is also contributed to by London dispersion forces.

An ionic compound is a compound that consists of molecules made of atoms that are covalently bonded?
false
Is SO4 a molecular or ionic compound?
Ionic because Ionic has metals or metal and non metals and for it to be molecular it can not contain metal
Is urea an organic compound or inorganic?
Nitrogen in its elemental form is covalently bonded. A free element cannot be ionically bonded.
Is NaBrO3 molecular or ionic?
If a compound contains at least one metal atom and at least one nonmetal atom, the compound is ionic. Na (Sodium) is a metal. Br (Bromine) is a nonmetal. Therefore, the compound NaBr is ionic.
Does nitrogen and oxygen form an ionic compound?
Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) is a molecular compound in which two oxygen molecules are bonded covalently to a central nitrogen molecule in a bent shape. The O-N-O bond angle is 134.3o as opposed to 180o due to the unbonded electron in nitrogen's outer shell. A good example of a nitrogen-based ionic compound would instead be sodium nitrate (NaNO3) or similar.
What is different about the solubility of a covalently bonded compound and an ionic compound?
An ionic compound is more soluble than a covalently bonded compound.
Is SF4 an ionic compound?
No, sulfur tetrafluoride is a covalently bonded compound.
An ionic compound is a compound that consist of molecules made of atoms that are covalently bonded?
The given statement is not either true or false consistently. An ionic compound can contain atoms that are covalently bonded, as in sulfate and nitrate salts, but it need not contain any such covalently bonded atoms.
Is NO a covalent or ionic compound?
Nitrogen and Oxygen are covalently bonded.
Is ammonia ionic or covalent compound?
Ammonia is covalently bonded.
What is a substance of 2 atoms bonded called?
If they are covalently bonded, it would be a molecule. If they are bonded by an ionic bond, they form an ionic compound.
An ionic compound is a compound that consists of molecules made of atoms that are covalently bonded?
false
An ionic compound is a compound that consists of molecules made of atoms that are covalently bonded.?
false
Fes2 ionic or covalent?
Iron(III) chloride is an ionic compound.
Which compound does CCl4 bonded to covalent or ionic bond?
CCl4 is carbon tetrachloride. It is covalently bonded.
Is diphosphorus trioxide ionic?
Diphosphorus trioxide is a covalent compound.
Is molecular hydrogen ionic or covalently bonded?
H2 is covalently bonded.
