Many covalent compounds are what chemists describe as volatile substances, which are relatively easy to either melt or boil. Covalent bonds are not as strong as ionic bonds, so with ionic bonds, you get compounds that are very hard to melt and even harder to boil, so we therefore know them mostly as solids (or as solutes). We do melt sand to make glass, but it takes an extremely high temperature. The other large bonding category is the metallic bond. These can be quite strong and can also result in very high melting points, but they vary. We also get the element Mercury, which has a metallic bond but which is liquid at room temperature.
solid = ice liquid = water gaseous = water vapour
Water exists in three states- solid, liquid, and gaseous
the three states of matter are- 1.solid 2.liquid 3.gaseous
The melting points and boiling points of molecular covalent compounds (ones with discrete molecules) are lower than ionic solids and giant molecule covalent compounds like (silica, SiO2) because the forces that attract them together in the solid and the liquid states (van der waals, hydrogen bonding and dispersion forces) are weaker than ionic (or covalent) bonds.
The difference in the physical states of ionic and covalent compounds can be attributed to the nature of their bonding. Ionic compounds are formed by the transfer of electrons between a metal and a non-metal, resulting in an electrostatic attraction between ions. This ionic bond is strong, requiring a significant amount of energy to break and convert the compound into a liquid state. On the other hand, covalent compounds are formed by the sharing of electrons between non-metals, resulting in a weaker bond. As a result, covalent compounds generally have lower melting and boiling points, allowing them to exist as liquids or gases at room temperature.
Elements and compounds can be solids, liquids, or gases. Examples of elements that are solid, liquid and gaseous at room temperature respectively are iron, bromine, and helium. Examples of compounds in these states are sodium chloride, water, and carbon dioxide.
No. Liquid oxygen and gaseous oxygen are the same substance, just in different states.
solid = ice liquid = water gaseous = water vapour
It is gaseous, liquid,
Typically: Solid, Liquid, and Gaseous States
Plasma
Solid, gaseous, liquid, and plasma
A solid matter has a solid appearance, a gaseous matter has a gaseous appearance, and a liquid matter has a liquid appearance.
Water exists in three states- solid, liquid, and gaseous
If a substance that exists in liquid state was not in liquid state then it was in its other states of matter namely solid, gaseous.
