Question

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

can be gases, liquids, or solids at room temperature.

have high melting points and high boiling points

are often soluble in water or other solvents

our poor electrical conductors

Answer 1

Have high melting points and high boiling points.

Step-by-step 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.
