Question

Which of the following is not a property of a covalent bond?

Answer 1

Answer:

Have high melting points and high boiling points.

Explanation:

• Covalent bonds are types of chemical bonds that result from the sharing of electrons between non-metal atoms.
• Covalent bonds result in the formation of covalent compounds.
• Covalent compounds are characterized by low melting and boiling points.
• Therefore, it won't be true to say they have high melting and boiling points.
• Other properties of covalent bonds include poor conductors of electricity and heat, gases or liquids at room temperature, and are non-polar compounds among others.
