*soft-tend to be gases, liquids, or gases
*poor conductors of heat & electricity
*brittle or cleave rather than deform
*nonelectrolytes-do not conduct electricity in water
1)Covalent compounds are squishy and soft. 2)Do not produce electricity in water. 3)Aren't usually soluble in water 4)More flammable than ionic compounds. 5)Have a lower melting and boiling points than ionic compounds
- Low boiling point
- Brittleness

1. They cannot conduct electricity regardless of state due to the absence of mobile electrons or ions to act as charge carriers.
2. They have lower boiling points as compared to ionic and metallic compounds due to the fact that their molecules are held together by weak van der waal's forces which require little energy to be broken.
Covalent bond does not dissolve in water:)
Simple covalent molecules tend to have low boiling and melting points, as well as being quite brittle when solid.
1) very low melting and boiling points 2) soft and malleable 3) poor conductors of electricity
covalent bonds are basically formed for two non-metals. so if the compounds of non-metals are formed, they are supposed two consist of properties of non-metals.
Florine and neon :)
the diversity of physical properties among covalent compounds is mainly because of widely varying intermolecular attraction
Covalent compounds generally have much lower melting and boiling points that ionic compounds. Covalent compounds are soft and squishy. Covalent compounds tend to be more flammable that ionic compounds. Covalent compounds don't conduct electricity in water. Covalent compounds aren't usually very soluble in water.
There are more than two. In general: Covalent compounds have low melting and boiling points while ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points. Ionic compounds are good conductors of electricity when melted, while covalent compounds are not. Ionic compounds are soluble in water, while covalent compounds are soluble in non-polar liquids. These are the essentials, but other differences exist. All of these are generalizations, exceptions do occur.
All compounds are made out of atoms of the same element or differed elements.
Covalent compounds are formed by covalent bonds.
Covalent compounds are neutral. Covalent compounds share electrons. apex:)

Molecular (covalent) compounds are not dissociated in water.
Most molecular compounds do not conduct electricity and have low melting points.
Covalent compounds generally have much lower melting and boiling points that ionic compounds. Covalent compounds are soft and squishy. Covalent compounds tend to be more flammable that ionic compounds. Covalent compounds don't conduct electricity in water. Covalent compounds aren't usually very soluble in water.
They have a higher boiling point and lower melting point and is flamable.

It depends on the compound. nonpolar covalent compounds will generally be soluble whie polar covalent compounds will not be.
covalent compounds --------- It is inadequate to discuss about a telephone in terms of ionic and covalent compounds.
