Question

Which of the following is NOT TRUE about covalent compounds?

  1. They have low melting and boiling points.
  2. They are formed from 2 non-metals.
  3. They can conduct electricity when dissolved in water (aqueous).
  4. None of the above

Hint:

Covalent compounds have exactly opposite characteristics to ionic compounds.

The correct answer is: They can conduct electricity when dissolved in water (aqueous).


    • Covalent compounds are soft.
    • Covalent compounds have low melting and boiling point.
    • Covalent compounds are formed between two non-metals.
    • Covalent compounds do not conduct electricity and are insoluble in water.
