Question

Give two examples of covalent compounds which you have studied. State any four properties in which covalent compounds differ from ionic compounds.

Answer 1

Methane,ethane,propane... All are covalent. Covalent compounds have low melting and boiling points while ionic have high. Covalent cmpnds are poor conductors but ionic cmpnds are good conductors only in molten state. Covalent is the mutual sharing of e,while ionic is transfer of e. Covalent compounds are soluble in benzene, ether, carbontetrachloride...Which are non polar solvents While ionic cmpnds are soluble in polar solvents such as water

Answer 2

Answer:

Methane ethane and propane etc. are the examples of covatent compounds.
