Answer 2

Hey !!

• In general covalent compounds are gases or liquids. Some of the compounds are soft solids.
• These compounds are slightly soluble in water but highly soluble in organic solvents such as alcohols, ethers etc.
• Those covalent molecules which form hydrogen bonds with water molecules becomes fairly soluble in water. Eg:- Lower alcohols, lower carboxylic acids etc.
• They are bad conductors of electricity because they do not contain ion, but when a covalent molecule reacts with water, it dissolves and produces ions, and hence begins to conduct electricity.

GOOD LUCK !!
