Both CO2 and SiO2 exhibit covalent bonding, so why is CO2 not a covalent-network solid? Why are intermolecular forces generally much weaker than bonding forces? What is the molecular geometry of NH_3? What causes an ionic bond? Describe a covalent bond. Why do ions form covalent bonds (pol...
Both CO2 and SiO2 exhibit covalent bonding, so why is CO2 not a covalent-network solid? If a covalent bond only occurs within a molecule, then why does it occur between molecules in glycosidic linkage? Why are compounds called molecules if some compounds are bonded ionically, which is not ...
Both CO2 and SiO2 exhibit covalent bonding, so why is CO2 not a covalent-network solid? How are ionic bonds and Van der Waals forces different? Why do ions form covalent bonds (polyatomic ions) if they already have complete valence shells due to their ionizing? Why are hydrogen bonds the ...
