Question 6 • *26-27 CFISD TX-Chemistry A CR

Which statement describes a property of covalent compounds?

Answer
A
They have a high boiling point because of strong intermolecular forces.
B
They have a low boiling point because of weak intermolecular forces.
C
They have a low melting point because of strong intermolecular forces.
D
They have a high melting point because of weak intermolecular forces.

Explanation

Many covalent compounds consist of molecules held together by relatively weak intermolecular forces. It takes little energy to separate those molecules, so they generally have low boiling points. Choice B correctly links weak intermolecular forces with a low boiling point.
