Q

Properties of SIMPLE COVALENT MOLECULES

A

Properties of SIMPLE COVALENT MOLECULES

  • only contain a few ATOMS held together by COVALENT BONDS
  • EG carbon dioxide - CO2 - contains 1 atom of Carbon and 2 atoms of Oxygen
  • LOW melting and LOW boiling points - because little energy is needed to break the weak intermolecular forces
  • EG of SIMPLE MOLECULES - H Y D R O G E N - P U R E W A T E R - M E T H A N E - A M M O N I A (its the weak intermolecular forces that break when one is melted or boiled NOT the STRONG COVALENT BONDS)
