Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following is a characteristic of covalent compounds? (2019)
  • Step 1: Understand what covalent compounds are. They are formed when two or more non-metal atoms share electrons.
  • Step 2: Learn about the melting points of covalent compounds. They usually have low melting points compared to ionic compounds.
  • Step 3: Know that covalent compounds do not conduct electricity when dissolved in water. This is because they do not produce ions.
  • Step 4: Remember these two key characteristics: low melting points and inability to conduct electricity in solution.
