2nd
Form crystal lattices, have high melting and boiling points, conduct electricity except in solid state
Ionic compounds
Low melting points, do not conduct electricity , weak intermolecular forces
Covalent compounds

Bond order
As bond length increases, bond energy ?
Decreases
Increase in number of shared electrons caused a ____ in bond length
Decrease
The energy required to separate two bonded atoms. This increases as the number of shared electrons increases.
Bond energy
