Properties of Simple Molecular Substances:

Question 1

What is a simple molecular substance?

Answer 1

= atoms are covalently bonded to eachother
= small molecules with a fixed number of atoms

Question 2

Why do simple molecular substances have a low melting + boiling point?

Answer 2

= due to intermolecular forces being low
= weak
= electrons increases the strength of vander wall forces increases

Question 3

In a solid form what is it called?

Answer 3

= simple molecular lattice

Question 4

What does solubility depend on?

Answer 4

= whether it is polar or non-polar

Question 5

What is the solubility of non-polar substances?

Answer 5

= dissolve well in non-polar solvents
= the solvent molecules form vanderwall forces with the non-polar substance
= INSOLUABLE in polar solvents

Question 6

What is the solubility of polar substances?

Answer 6

= dissolves well in polar solvents
= forms the same intermolecular bonds
= INSOLUABLE in non-polar solvents

Question 7

What is the conductivity?

Answer 7

= do not contsined mobiel charged prticles
=c annot conuct electricity.
