In a compound between two non-metals
2
Q
How do two atoms bond in Covalent bonding?
A
They share electrons
3
Q
Properties:
A
Low boiling point
They dont conduct electricity
4
Q
Why small molecules have low boiling points:
A
> Small structure
Low amount of energy needed to break attraction
Weak intermolecular forces between molecules
5
Q
Why small molecules dont conduct electricity:
A
> There are no free (delocalised) electrons to carry the charge
