Question

Low melting point and low solubility in water are general properties of ______________________ compounds.

  1. Ionic
  2. Covalent
  3. Chemical
  4. Glucose

hintHint:

Low melting point and low solubility in water are general properties of Covalent compounds.

The correct answer is: Covalent


    • Ionic compounds have high melting and boiling point. They are highly soluble in water and conduct electricity in molten state.
    • Covalent compounds have low melting and boiling point. They are low soluble in water and does not conduct electricity.
