The properties of covalent compounds are: they have relatively low melting and boiling points, they tend to be soft and relatively flexible, they are more flammable, when dissolved in water they don't conduct electricity, many don't dissolve well in water, and they don't need as much energy to melt or vaporize as an ionic compound does.

Are molecules covalent or ionic?
Molecules are covalent.
Are covalent bonds broken when a substance boils?
No. Only the weaker physical bonds that hold covalent molecules in a liquid state are broken by boiling or other vaporization.
What molecules would you expect to dissolve in water polar covalent molecules ionic molecules nonpolar covalent molecules?
ionic molecules
Which particles in an atom are involved in a covalent bond?
Particles formed from the covalent bonding of atoms are called molecules.
What characteristics do all polar molecules share?
1. At least one bond must be polar covalent 2. asymmetric geometry
Are molecules covalent or ionic?
Molecules are covalent.
Is atmosphere ionic or covalent molecules?
Covalent molecules with small amounts of argon which is monatomic. All molecules are covalent. Ionic compounds form crystals, not molecules.
Are covalent bonds broken when a substance boils?
No. Only the weaker physical bonds that hold covalent molecules in a liquid state are broken by boiling or other vaporization.
What molecules would you expect to dissolve in water polar covalent molecules ionic molecules nonpolar covalent molecules?
ionic molecules
What are molecules and covalent bonds?
Molecules with covalent bonds are generally formed by nonmetals.
What nature of elements producing covalent molecules?
Nonmetals produce covalent molecules.
Which particles in an atom are involved in a covalent bond?
Particles formed from the covalent bonding of atoms are called molecules.

1. At least one bond must be polar covalent 2. asymmetric geometry
Are organic molecules ionic or covalent?
Most are Covalent
Are molecules covalent bonds or ions?
Molecules are made up of covalent bonds; however, search "ionic molecules" for more info.
What is an example for a covalent bond?
Water molecules have covalent bonds.
What is an example a covalent bond?
