      • Strong bonds that form when atoms share pairs of electrons
    2. What type of substances have covalent bonds?
      • small molecules
    3. What are the names of the following substances CO2 H2O H2 Cl2
      • Carbon dioxide water hydrogen chlroine
    4. Give an example of large molecules with covalent bonds
      • Polymers
    5. Give two examples of substances that have giant covalent structures
      • diamond graphite silicon dioxide
    6. List three ways to represent covalent bonds in molecules
      • dot and cross diagrams ball and stick diagrams display formula
    7. How are polymers commonly represented?
      • Polymers can be represented using displayed formulae, where n is a large number.
