What are covalent compounds ? Give properties and structural formula of covalent compounds. Give one example. |
| Answer» EXPLANATION:Covalent bonds are characterized by the sharing of electrons between two or more atoms.ITS properties are,:At room temperature and normal atmospheric pressure, covalent compounds MAY exist as a solid, a liquid, or a gas.covalent compounds do not exhibit any electrical conductivity, either in pure form or when dissolved in water.The absence of charged ions is the main reason behind this. An exception to this is graphite.Covalent compounds do not possess polar CHARACTERISTICS as a general property. Therefore, these compounds are INSOLUBLE in water.Example: METHANE | |
