Solution

a. Covalent compounds exist as gases or liquids or soft solids.
Covalent compounds are insoluble in water but dissolve in organic solvents.

The melting and boiling points of covalent compounds are generally low.

b. The phenomenon in which the same molecular formula may exhibit different structural arrangements is called isomerism.
