Question

what are covalent compound? State charactersis of covalent compound.​

Answer 1

covalent compound:

A covalent compound is made when two or more nonmetal atoms bond by sharing valence electrons. The shared valence electrons between two nonmetal atoms is called a covalent bond. Covalent bonds are formed when two atoms begin sharing electrons. The electrons are attracted to the positively charged nuclei of the atoms.

Here is a short list of the main properties of covalent compounds:

• Most covalent compounds have relatively low melting points and boiling points
• Covalent compounds usually have lower enthalpies of fusion and vaporization than ionic compounds.
• Covalent compounds tend to be more flammable than ionic compounds.
• When dissolved in water, they don't conduct electricity.

Answer 2

What are Covalent compound?

A chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pair between atoms.

NOTE: Also called Molecular Bond.

State characteristics of covalent compound.

1. Low melting & boiling points.
2. Soft are brittle solid forms.
3. Poor conductor of heat & electricity.
4. Do not conduct electricity in water.
5. When dissolved.More flammable than ionic compound.
