What are the properties of molecular compound?
Molecular compounds generally do not conduct electricity and have low melting points.
How are the properties of molecular compounds different from those of ionic cmpounds?
Molecular (covalent) compounds are not dissociated in water.
The properties of both ionic and molecular compounds are related to the?
strengths of attraction between the particles in the compounds
What properties do most covalent compounds have in common?
Most molecular compounds do not conduct electricity and have low melting points.
Why are most molecular compounds bad conductors of electricity?
they will not ionize
What evidence is there ionic compounds exists as ions in their pure state while molecular compounds exist as molecules in their pure state?
Ionic compounds conduct electricity while molecular compounds do not
Which is a property shares by most molecular compounds?
Most molecular compounds have a low melting point. They also typically don't conduct electricity.
Molecular compounds do not conduct electricity because they?
do not break up into ions.
What accounts for the observed differences in the properties of ionic and molecular compounds?
t Answer Well firstly, ionic compounds form from metals bonding with non metals. Molecular/covalent form from non metals bonding with non metals. A strong electrostatic force between ionic compounds results in them having high melting points. A weaker electrostatic force between molecular compounds results in them having lower melting points and thus weaker bonds. Ionic compounds are made up of ions, so will conduct electricity. Covalent compounds only share electrons and so are not ions, and will not conduct electricity.
Why don't molecular compounds dissolved in water conduct electricity?
There are no ions present
How do agueous solutions of ionic and molecular compounds difer?
Aqueous [note spelling] solutions of ionic compounds conduct electricity, but aqueous solutions of molecular compounds do not, unless the molecular compounds dissociate into ions when dissolved. Sugar, acetone, ethanol, and methanol, for example, do not dissociate, but acetic acid does.
Which is a property shared by most molecular?
Most molecular compounds have a low melting point. They also typically don't conduct electricity.
