Data In a methane molecule (C H 4 ), there are four single covalent bonds. In an octane molecule ( C 8 H 18 ), there are 25 single covalent bonds. How
does the number of bonds affect the dispersion forces in samples of methane and
octane? Which compound is a gas at room temperature? Which is a liquid?

What is the difference between covalent bonds and ionic bonds? covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms; ionic bonds involve the electrical attraction between charged atoms. covalent bonds involve the transfer of electrons between charged atoms; ionic bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms. covalent bonds involve the sharing of pairs of electrons between atoms; ionic bonds involve the sharing of single electrons between atoms. covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms; ionic bonds involve the sharing of protons between charged atoms.
