ions
Solid metals are good conductors of heat and _________
electricity
Molecular compounds that dissolve in water, do not conduct electricity because no __________ are present
non-polar particles (non-polar electrons)

valence electrons
True of False~ Orderly crystal shapes, high melting points, and electrical conductivity when dissolved in water are properties of ionic compounds.
True
True or False~ When electrons are transferred between two atoms, a covalent bond is formed.
False, shared
True or False~ A low melting point is one property of covalent compounds.
True
True or False~ A non polar is formed when 2 atoms are shared unequally.
False, polar
