There are NO specific uses possible only by being 'covalent'. A compound actually can NOT be named 'COVALENT'. Only a special type of bonding is called 'covalent'.

Covalent calcium compounds?

Calcium cannot form a covalent compound because it is a metal, covalent compounds are formed only from non-metals.


Why do covalent compounds have lower melting points then ionic compounds?

Covalent compounds have lower melting points compared to ionic compounds because covalent bonds are generally weaker than ionic bonds. In covalent compounds, individual molecules or atoms are held together by shared electrons, which are weaker than the electrostatic attraction in ionic compounds. Hence, less energy is required to break the bonds in covalent compounds, resulting in lower melting points.


Is Vaseline ionic or covalent?

Petrol is a mixture of organic compounds. These organic compounds have covalent bonds.


Are melting points of covalent compounds high or low compared to ionic compounds?

Melting points of covalent compounds are generally lower than those of ionic compounds. This is because covalent compounds have weaker intermolecular forces compared to the strong electrostatic forces present in ionic compounds, so they require less energy to break apart the molecules.


What is true about all covalent compounds?

Covalent compounds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms. They tend to have lower melting and boiling points compared to ionic compounds. Covalent compounds are often formed between nonmetal atoms.

Are covalent compounds soluble in hexane?

Yes, covalent compounds are generally soluble in nonpolar solvents like hexane due to their similar polarity. Covalent compounds tend to dissolve well in nonpolar solvents because they share similar intermolecular forces, such as London dispersion forces.
