What binary covalent compounds can be identified by qualities?

Binary covalent compounds can be identified by their chemical formula, which typically consists of two nonmetal elements. They are characterized by sharing of electron pairs between the atoms, as opposed to transferring electrons like in ionic compounds. Common examples include carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), and ammonia (NH3).


How does the melting point of ionic compounds compared to that of covalent compounds?
