Do non polar covalent compounds have high or low melting points?

Answer 1

No they have high melting and boiling points.

Don't get confused with simple molecular structures such as water and carbon dioxide which have simple covalent structures. When you heat them you are overcoming the forces BETWEEN THE MOLECULES (intermolecular/van der waals forces of attraction), NOT the actual covalent bonds themselves, like the bond betwen the C and either O in carbon dioxide.

Answer 2

Non-polar covalent compounds typically have low melting points, as they consist of molecules held together by weak van der Waals forces. These forces are relatively weak compared to ionic or metallic bonds, resulting in low melting points for non-polar covalent compounds.

Answer 3

polar covalent bonds have low melting point

Answer 4

Every covalent bond has its individual melting point but covalent bonds always have lower melting points than ionic bonds

Answer 5

non polar covalent bonds have relatively low melting points.

Answer 6

Compared to ionic compounds, Molecular compounds generally have lower melting points and boiling points.

Answer 7

Non polar compounds usually have lower melting point, meanwhile some compounds including diamond, graphite are exceptional with melting points over 3000 K.

Answer 8

I think it's low

Answer 9

Low melting point.

Answer 10

False
