Question

Give any two example of covalent compound? State any four properties which covalent compound differ from ionic compund.

Answer 1

examples are: hydrogen and oxygen

they are different from ionic compounds because

1. they have low melting and boiling point

2. they are poor conductor of electricity

Answer 2

Example of covalent bomds are CCl4 and HCL acid.

Properties of covalent bonds are

1. These type of compound are weaker than ionic compounds.

2. These compounds are fromed by sharing of electrons.

3. These compounds have realatively less melting and boiling point.

4. These compounds do not conduct electricity.
