Molecular reactions are generally slow reactions and they are shown by _____ compounds.
Covalent
Explanation of the correct option :
The correct option is A.
A reaction takes place between molecules by breaking the existing bonds and forming new bonds. When the bonds involved in the reaction are covalent bonds, then such reactions are called molecular reactions. As the reactant bonds are strong, they need high energy to break down due to which they are slow reactions.
Hence, Molecular reactions are generally slow reactions and they are shown by Covalent compounds.
Explanation of the incorrect options:
Option B :
Molecular reactions do not involve ionic compounds.
Option C :
Molecular reactions do not involve compounds with co-ordinate bonds.
Option D :
Molecular reactions involve only covalent compounds and not ionic compounds.
