Question

Why covalent compound are volatile in nature with low boiling and low melting point?

Answer 1

Explanation:

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.

Answer 2

Answer:

Due to weak force of attraction

Explanation:

We know that covalent compounds are formed when there is a murual sharing of electrons hence leading to formation of weak force between them.

As the force is weak it can easily be broken.
