Properties of small covalent molecules.

Question 1

What is the first property of small covalent molecules?

Answer 1

• Low melting and boiling points.

- Weak intermolecule forces between the molecules do not require a lot of energy to break.

Question 2

What is the second covalent property?

Answer 2

• Small Covalent molecules do not conduct electricty.
• ## Because the molecules do not have an overall electrical charge.

Question 3

Additional Information.

Answer 3

• ## As we increase the size of the covalent molecule, the intermolecule forces increases.
