Summary Introduction

To identify:

The missing name or formula for each covalent compound in the given table.

Introduction:

Covalent compounds are defined as the molecules which have strong bonds because the atom from which the covalent molecules are made are held very tightly together. The attractions between the individual molecules in covalent compounds are small.

These are the molecules made mainly of non-metals by sharing electrons and held together by Vander Waal forces.

A chemical formula represents the number of atoms of each element present in a molecule of a compound.
