Molecular Flashcards
1
Q
Bonding
A
Discrete, seperate molecules. Weak intermolecular forces of attraction.
2
Q
Melting point
A
The solid melts when the molecules are free to ove from their fixed positions. Only weak intermolecular forces between the molecules need to be broken and this only requires low energy.
3
Q
Strength
A
weak/soft. The weak intermolecular forces do not require much to break and thus van be easily broken up and cut with a knife.
4
Q
Conductivity
A
No. There are no charged particles to carry the charge.
5
Q
Solubility
A
