simple molecular compounds - SC7 Flashcards
1
Q
what are simple molecular structures made up of?
A
consist of molecules in which the atoms are joined
by strong covalent bonds
2
Q
what are the properties of a compound influenced by?
A
its atoms and type of bonding
3
Q
What do all compounds contain?
A
atoms of more than one element
4
Q
what are the properties of molecular compounds
A
- Simple molecules have low boiling points because not much energy needed for intermolecular forces
- Simple molecules dont carry eletrical current because no overall charge
5
Q
how do the bonds differ in simple molecular compounds between atoms and molecules?
A
atoms - strong
molecules - weak intermolecular forces
