The lowest boiling are small covalent molecular compounds which do not have any hydrogen bonding and because they are small have weaker dispersion forces holding them together in the liquid state. Re,memebr its intermolecular forces that keep molecules together in the solid and liquid. (Not giant molecules such as diamond they are held together in the solid by covalent bonds.)

Is the boiling point of covalent compounds high or low?
high boiling point low melting point
Do non-metals have low boiling point?
yes they do have a low boiling point
Perfume liquids have a low or high boiling point?
They Have a low boiling point
Which boils quicker liquid with high boiling point or liquid with low boiling point?
The liquid with low boiling point.
Why high boiling points are generally safer than those with low boiling point?
Low poiling poits compounds are generally flammable; also they are more probable to produce air pollution.
What is the relationship between a compound's chemical bond type and its phase at room temperature?
Usually different compounds have a specific freezing, melting, and boiling point. There are all types of different compounds out in the world but it also depends on their intermolecular forces. In weak bonds, volatility and pressure is high, while boiling point is low. In strong bonds, volatility and pressure is low, while boiling point is high.
Why the melting and boiling point of covalent compound are low?
Compared to ionic compounds, covalent compounds have relatively low melting and boiling points because covalent bonds are not as strong as ionic bonds, and it is the bonds which hold materials together in the solid, or more solid phases.
Dose helium have a high or low boiling point?
Low boiling point of -268.93 °C
Which type of compound would have the lowest melting point?
Compounds bonded by covalent bonds do not necessarily have low melting points. Some have whereas some don't have.Some polymers and hydrocarbons have very high melting points. But it can be said that they don't have melting points as high as ionic compounds. It is so because ionic bonds are stronger than the covalent bonds.
Do covalent compounds have lower boiling point than ionic compounds?
yes. the boiling point of ionic compounds is high due to the presence of strong electrostatic force of attraction between the ions.
Is 68 a high boiling point?
No, 68 is a low boiling point.
Why does oxygen have a low boiling point?
because it does not have a high boiling point.
