Say why covalent molecules do not conduct electricity

Page 7: Simple molecules LO: Describe the properties of substances made from simple molecules. (D) Explain how covalent bonds are strong, but simple molecules.

Covalent compounds do not conduct electricity because….There are no electrical charges to carry the electricity

Melting and Boiling

I said that covalent bonds are stronger than ionic.

If this is the case why do many covalent compounds have very low melting and boiling points ?

Page 9: Simple molecules LO: Describe the properties of substances made from simple molecules. (D) Explain how covalent bonds are strong, but simple molecules.

Covalent bonds are strong, but each molecule is separate to its neighbour.

The forces between each MOLECULE is very small.

There are weak intermolecular forces.
