Question

Why covalent compounds have generally low melting points?

Answer 1

Answer:

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:

Covalent compounds have low melting and boiling points because they are made up of electrically neutral molecules. So, the force of attraction between the molecules of a covalent compound is very weak.

Explanation:

Only a small amount of heat energy is required to break these weak molecular forces. That is why covalent compound have low melting boiling points.

hope it's help u....
