Question

explain why covalent compunds. 1..have low melting points. 2.... ionic compounds have high melting points.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Because ionic compounds are joined with the strong electrostatic forces of attraction on the other hand in covalent compounds the weak wanderwall force is present.

Answer 2

Answer:

Covalent compounds have low melting and boiling 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.

Explanation:

Only a small amount of heat energy is required to break these weak molecular forces. That is why covalent compound have low melting boiling points.

hope it's help u....
