1
Q

A
Covalent bonds
2
Q
The forces of attraction between these molecules are?
A
Very weak
3
Q
What do you need to do to break to melt or boil a simple molecular compound?
A
Break the feeble intermolecular forces
4
Q
Why are the Melting and boiling points so low?
A
As the molecules are easily parted from each other.
5
Q
As the molecules gets bigger the strength of the intermolecular force…
A
Increases
6
Q
More energy is needed to break …. molecules
A
Larger
7
Q
Do molecular compounds conduct electricity? Why?
A
No as they aren’t charged so there are no free electrons or ions.
