Why do molecular solids have lower boiling points than ionic solids?
In the liquid the intermolecular forces between covalent molecules are weaker than the forces between ions.
What are covalent-network solids?
Network Solids are atomic solids that contain strong directional covalent bonds to form a solid that might be best viewed as a giant molecule.
Why does covalent bonding not happen in solids?
Covalent bonding does happen in solids. Caffeine is a solid. so are most organic molecules.
What is a covalent compound's usual state of matter?
At room temperature and pressure there are gaseous, liquid and solid molecular covalent compounds. Examples Gas: methane, CH4, ethylene, C2H4 Liquid benzene, C6H6, ethanol, C2H5OH Solid: naphthalene, C10H8 The giant molecule covalent compounds such as silica are solids
Why are covalent compounds usually gases or liquids at room temperature?
Covalent bonds themselves are not liquids or any other phase. The phase distinction between solids, liquids, and gases is a property of substances, not bonds. Compounds with covalent bonds are more likely to be liquid than ionic compounds because the inter-molecular forces are usually weaker in compounds with covalent bonds.
What is Liquid things?
yes liquid is matter so is solids and gases
Why do molecular solids have lower boiling points than ionic solids?
In the liquid the intermolecular forces between covalent molecules are weaker than the forces between ions.
How does waters relative densities as a solid and a liquid differ from that of most other substances?
Water has a lower density as a solid than it does as a liquid. In the vast majority of substances are denser as solids than as liquids.
What are covalent-network solids?
Network Solids are atomic solids that contain strong directional covalent bonds to form a solid that might be best viewed as a giant molecule.
How are solids designated on the periodic table?
It can be categorised into -Ionic -Covalent molecular -Metallic -Covalent network

How do most substances turn from solids to liquid?
I want to say melting tell me if I'm wrong on my message board from beatlemania1234
Are solid liquid and gas phases or substances?
Solids, liquids, gases, and plasmas are all states of matter. Hopefully that helps.
In what phase are covalent compounds?
Covalent compounds can be solids, liquids or gases.
What kind of crystalline solids?
It is a network solid, a lattice of many covalent bonds (like diamond, except that it is black rather than transparent).
What happens to a substance during chenges between solid and liguid?
Substances changing between soild and liquid undergo Phase Transition and solids absorb energy at constasnt tempertature to phase change solids to liquid. The reverse happens when the liquid turns to solid, energy is given off.
