# Gases, liquids, or solids (made of molecules) # Low melting and boiling points # Poor electrical conductors in all phases # Many soluble in nonpolar liquids but not in water Pretty sure this right

What are covalent-network solids?
Network Solids are atomic solids that contain strong directional covalent bonds to form a solid that might be best viewed as a giant molecule.
Why does covalent bonding not happen in solids?
Covalent bonding does happen in solids. Caffeine is a solid. so are most organic molecules.
Do covalent compounds conduct electricity as solids?
Generally not.
Which solid is the strongest-ionic solids metallic solids covalent solids?
Respectively are Calcium cabonate, Tungsten and Diamond (most probably)
What type of bonds and solids are characteristic of organic compounds?
covalent bonds and molecular solids are characteristic of organic compounds
What are covalent-network solids?
Network Solids are atomic solids that contain strong directional covalent bonds to form a solid that might be best viewed as a giant molecule.
What is an inorganic extended solid?
extended solids are high pressure phases whose properties are enhanced by the formation of high strength covalent bonds
How are solids designated on the periodic table?
It can be categorised into -Ionic -Covalent molecular -Metallic -Covalent network
Why does covalent bonding not happen in solids?
Covalent bonding does happen in solids. Caffeine is a solid. so are most organic molecules.
Do all solids have any similar properties?
All solids do no have same properties. They possess different properties.
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.
Properties of solids?
Particles of solids are packed tightly together and can't move. They don't change shape unless damaged.
What have a lower melting points than ionic solids?
Covalent solids generally have lower melting points than ionic solids. This is because covalent solids are made up of discrete molecules held together by relatively weak intermolecular forces, whereas ionic solids are made up of ions held together by strong electrostatic forces. The weaker intermolecular forces in covalent solids require less energy to overcome, resulting in a lower melting point.
What properties of solids distinguish them from solids and gases?
Solids don't change their size or shape.
Compounds can exist in liquids solids or gases?
Covalent.. A+
Do covalent compounds conduct electricity as solids?
Generally not.
