No liquid ionic compounds are known but many of the known covalent compounds are liquids and some are gasesaccount for these differences?
Now consider water (H20). It is made up of molecules of water. The bonds between the molecules are much weaker, so you don't get a solid, but a liquid.
Another examples of ionic solids are Potassium Chloride.
Another example of a liquid covalent compound is hexane.
What else can I help you with?
Do covalent compounds conduct electricity as liquid or solid?
covalent compounds don't conduct electricity in any state.
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.
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 are the general physical properties for covalent compounds.?
Covalent compounds typically have low melting and boiling points, are often gases or liquids at room temperature, and are insoluble in water. They also tend to be soft and brittle in nature.
What is the usual state at room temperature for a covalent compound?
Covalent compounds at room temperature are typically in the solid or liquid state. Some covalent compounds may also exist as gases at room temperature, depending on their molecular weight and intermolecular forces.
In what phase are covalent compounds?
Covalent compounds can be solids, liquids or gases.

Covalent.. A+
At room temp most covalent compounds are?
Liquids or gases.

Why are covalent compounds usually turn into gases or liquids at room temperature?
Covalent compounds have weaker intermolecular forces compared to ionic compounds, making it easier for them to break apart and move freely as gases or liquids at room temperature. The lack of strong electrostatic forces between molecules allows them to have lower melting and boiling points.
Can non polar covalent conduct electricy when melted?
No. Covalent molecular compounds generally from liquids that contain the neutral molcules. These will not be affected by an electric field and therefore no electricity will be conducted.
What are two physical properties that differ between covalent and ionic bonds?
There are more than two. In general: Covalent compounds have low melting and boiling points while ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points. Ionic compounds are good conductors of electricity when melted, while covalent compounds are not. Ionic compounds are soluble in water, while covalent compounds are soluble in non-polar liquids. These are the essentials, but other differences exist. All of these are generalizations, exceptions do occur.
What are two properties of covalent compounds?
1.They exist as gases, liquids or solids with low melting points because the forces of attraction between the molecules are weakAND2. they generally do not conduct electricity because they are not made up of ions.hope this has helped. :D
