what is a solids melting point?
above room temperature
what is a liquids meriting point?
lower than room temp
what is a liquids boiling point?
above room tempt
what is a gases boiling point?
below room temperature
what mp and bp do covalent molecular have?
low
what is broken when a covalent molecular is melted?
the weak forces of attraction between the molecules
how much energy is needed to break the bond between covalent molecular structures?
little energy which explains why they have low melting points

what are ionic bonds?
strong
what type of energy is needed to break ionic bonds?
a lot of energy
do ionic compounds have high or low melting points?
