Cards (12)

  • What are covalent molecules with few atoms called?
    Simple covalent structures
  • What is the melting and boiling point of simple covalent structures?
    They have a low melting and boiling point
  • What state are simple covalent structures typically in at room temperature?
    Liquids or gases
  • Can simple covalent structures conduct electricity?
    No, they cannot conduct electricity
  • How dense and hard are simple covalent structures?
    They are not dense or hard but brittle
  • What are the strong bonds within covalent molecules called?
    Intramolecular bonds
  • What are the weak bonds between covalent molecules called?
    Intermolecular bonds
  • What happens to intermolecular bonds when simple covalent bonds are heated?
    The weak intermolecular bonds break
  • Why do simple covalent structures have low boiling points?
    Weak intermolecular bonds require little energy to break
  • What is the relationship between the strength of intramolecular and intermolecular bonds in simple covalent structures?
    Strong intramolecular bonds and weak intermolecular bonds
  • Intramolecular
