Uses of covalent compounds

Answer 1

What are the properties and uses of covalent compounds?
Originally Answered: What are the uses and properties of covalent compounds?
Chemical bond formed by the sharing of electrons is known as covalent bonds.

This bonds are usually found in compounds of non metals Such as CCl4 or H20. Because non metals cannot give electrons they can only accept electrons.Thus when non metal form compound it forms it by covalent bond or by sharing electrons.

Covalent bonds are of three types single covalent bond,double covalent bond, triple covalent bond.

Some properties are-

1.Covalent compounds are usually liquids or gases.only some of them are solid.

2.insoluble in water but soluble in organic compound.

3.they do not conduct electricity.

4.have low melting point and boiling point.

There infinite uses of covalent compounds.some important uses are-
your existence(covalent compounds form 99% of your body)
water is a covalent compound.we all know many uses of water.
sugars,food substances,tea and coffee are all covalent compounds.
the air we breathe in contains covalent molecules of oxygen and nitrogen.
almost everything on earth other than most simple inorganic salts are covalent.

Answer 2

A covalent bond, also called a molecular bond, is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms. These electron pairs are known as shared pairs or bonding pairs, and the stable balance of attractive and repulsive forces between atoms, when they share electrons, is known as covalent bonding. water is a covalent compound and is used for various purposes. Even food that we eat and the oxygen that we breathe is in the form of covalently bonded molecules. Covalent Compound: A covalent compound is made when two or more non-metal atoms bond by sharing valence electrons.
