Answer:Simple Covalent substance
Explanation:Simple covalent substance describes a substance that has a low melting point and poor electrical conductivity because:
(1)melting point :For the covalent bond and intermolecular force that are present in a simple covalent substance,energy is needed to break the forces of attraction present. In the simple covalent substance, little energy is needed because the intermolecular forces present are broken because they are weaker compared to the covalent bond present.
Therefore, when simple covalent substance melts,only the intermolecular forces are broken leaving only the covalent bond in the substance.
(2) poor conductivity: for a substance to conduct electricity,it must have charged particles which are free to move to and fro.
But in the simple covalent substance,there are no charged particles that can be separated due to the covalent bond present in simple covalent substance.
