Question

Covalent compounds have low melting point. Give reason. I do mark brainliest answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

Covalent compounds have weak forces of attraction between the binding molecules. Thus less energy is required to break the force of bonding. Therefore covalent compounds have low melting and boiling point.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Covalent compounds have generally low melting points because they are made up of electrically neutral molecules. So, the force of attraction between the molecules of a covalent compound is very weak. Hence, only a small amount of heat energy is required to break these weak molecular forces.
