In a chemical reaction bonds are broken and then reformed in a different arrangement. If the reaction is exothermic, this is because the new bonds are at a lower energy level than the old ones. For example, if you burn methane in oxygen, you are breaking C-H and O-O bonds and forming C=O and H-O bonds. If you look up(in a data table) the bond energies of each of the bonds you can total up the energies of the reactants (methane and oxygen) and products (carbon dioxide and water), and you will find that there is less energy in the bonds at the end than at the beginning. That's the energy that is released as heat.

Does covalent bonds give water a low heat capacity?
yes it does give a low heat capacity.
Do covalent bonds give water a low heat capacity?
Water is covalently bonded and has a high heat capacity.
Why coordinate covalent compound are bad conductor of heat and eletricity?
because there is free electrons(ions) to conduct heat and electricity.
Why do simple covalent bonds have low melting and boiling point?
It's due to the facts that simple covalent bonds like single bonds are weaker and longer than others bonds with tighter interactions like pi bonds (double bonds) or ionic bonds. Once the heat is turned up it excites the electrons to move from their bonded positions and the bond breaks
Is methane a metal?
Methane is not a metal. It is a hydrocarbon with the chemical formula CH4.
DOES Fullerene conduct heat?
Yes, each carbon forms 3 covalent bonds leaving free electrons that can conduct electricity!
Does covalent bonds give water a low heat capacity?
yes it does give a low heat capacity.
What materials conduct heat and which do no?
the materials like metal(which have free electrons) conduct heat and light both and those materials which are formed by covalent bond (do not have free electrons) generaly non metals do not conduct heat and electricity.

How does the structure of water water relate to one of its unique properties?
The polar covalent bonds that make up the structure of water are responsible for surface tension and adhesion characteristics found in water. The bonds are also responsible for the high heat of vaporization.
Is methane a metal?
Methane is not a metal. It is a hydrocarbon with the chemical formula CH4.
How diamonds conduct heat?
From About Education:"Most diamonds are extremely efficient thermal conductors, but electrical insulators."Diamond conducts heat well as a result of the strong covalent bonds between carbon atoms in a diamond crystal. Thermal conductivity of natural diamond is around 22 W/(cm·K), which makes diamond five times better at conducting heat than copper. "
What things conduct heat?
Technically, everything. Any amount of matter will conduct heat as a matter of molecular vibrations. However, heat conduction increases with density and delocalization of bonds (metals are the best conductors, followed by some forms of graphite, then probably some organic molecules, then other molecules, then salts, then lastly rocks and such).
Why is candle wax not conductive?
Candle wax consists of long chain hydrocarbons these are all covalent compunds there are no free electrons to conduct electricity or heat
What do you call the liquids that cannot conduct electricity?
While there are many liquids that are known to conduct electricity, there are several that do not. These liquids that don't conduct electricity include milk, lava in its molten state, melting wax, and soda pop.
