Question

why covalent compound react slowly

Answer 1

covalent compounds have strong bonds that have to be broken in order to react in solution,which takes longer

Answer 2

covalent compound react slowly than ionic compound because

Ionic compounds have no bonds to break, the compounds just separate to form free ions, which is fast.

Covalent compounds on the other hand, have strong bonds that have to be broken in order to react in solution, which takes longer.

Therefore, due to the need to break bonds, covalent compounds react slower than ionic compounds
