Question

Covalent compounds generally exhibit:

• A. Low melting points
• B. High solubilities in water
• C. High electrical conductivity
• D. High boiling points

Answer 1

The correct option is A Low melting points

Covalent compounds have bonds where electrons are shared between atoms. They have low boiling points as they are gases at room temperature. They also show low melting points and are non polar hence insoluble in water.
Covalent compounds are very resistant, they do not conduct heat and electricity, mostly insulators.
