Question

state reasons to explain why covalent compounds:
(i) are bad conductors of electricity?
(ii) have low melting and boiling points?​

Answer 1

1)Covalent compounds are formed by sharing of electrons unlike ionic bonds which are formed by sharing of electrons.

Hence,as there are no free electrons , electricity is not conducted.

Also, no ions are formed between them for the resultant transfer of electricity to occur.

2)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.
