Is it true that a Covalent compounds exist only as crystalline solids at room temperature?
No. Many covalent compounds are liquids or gases at room temperature and pressure. A few examples:- methane, CH4; ethane C2H6; benzene C6H6, sulfur hexafluoride, SF6
Also covalent compouconsisting of small molecular units can form crystalline solids but may also form waxy amorphous solids.
Room temeprature crystalline solids are more typically ionic compounds.
What else can I help you with?
Are covalent compounds crystalline solids?
Not usually no. However, covalently bonded polymers will often have crystalline domains - these are called spherulites. So the polymer is rarely perfectly amorphous. PET is one such polymer. see related link for more information.
Are all ionic compounds crystalline?
No, not all ionic compounds are crystalline. Some ionic compounds may form amorphous solids instead of crystalline structures under certain conditions.
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
What are the properties of a covalent compounds?
Covalent compounds are formed when atoms share electrons to achieve a full outer shell. They typically have lower melting and boiling points compared to ionic compounds, and are often gases, liquids, or soft solids at room temperature. Covalent compounds do not conduct electricity in their pure form.
What type of bonds and solids are characteristic of organic compounds?
Organic compounds typically contain covalent bonds, which involve the sharing of electrons between atoms. In terms of solids, organic compounds can form molecular solids, where molecules are held together by intermolecular forces such as Van der Waals forces or hydrogen bonding.
Are covalent compounds crystalline solids?
Not usually no. However, covalently bonded polymers will often have crystalline domains - these are called spherulites. So the polymer is rarely perfectly amorphous. PET is one such polymer. see related link for more information.
In what phase are covalent compounds?
Covalent compounds can be solids, liquids or gases.
Is carbon compounds covalent solids or metallic solids?
The solid carbon compounds are mostly molecular solids.
Why are are covalent networks compounds like silicon oxide solids at room temperature?
Covalent netweork compounds are held together generally by strong covalent bonds and therefore melting them takes a lot of thermal energy.
How are solids designated on the periodic table?
It can be categorised into -Ionic -Covalent molecular -Metallic -Covalent network
What is network solids?
A crystalline solid held together by covalent bonds
A crystalline solid that is electrically neutral MOST likely has bonds?
Ionic bonds. All chemical compounds are electrically neutral, in that they do not posess an overall electrstaic charge. Crystalline solids could be either ionic or covalent. The most likely ones to be encountered in a laboratory or in the home are ionic solids. Most ionic compounds are crystalline solids at normal temperature. Ionic solids are generally the union of a metal and a non-metal. Examples include salt (sodium chloride), fluorite (calcium fluoride), and pyrite (iron sulfide). Ionic compounds are electrically neutral because the charges of their ions cancel out. So the answer is ionic bonds.
Are all ionic compounds crystalline?
No, not all ionic compounds are crystalline. Some ionic compounds may form amorphous solids instead of crystalline structures under certain conditions.

Compounds can exist in liquids solids or gases?
Covalent.. A+
Is lead iodide conductor of electricity?
