low melting point
E
rapid reaction rate
F
forms a variety of compounds

Explanation

Carbon forms covalent bonds and can combine in many different ways, producing a wide variety of compounds. Many carbon-containing molecular compounds are generally nonelectrolytes and have relatively low melting points. They are not necessarily water soluble, and their reactions are not generally rapid.
