Question 1 • Chemistry

Which of these is a typical property of a substance that is composed of atoms that are held together by covalent bonds?

Answer
A
It conducts electricity when in molten form.
B
It does not conduct electricity in any form.
C
It conducts electricity when in solid form.
D
It conducts electricity when it is dissolved in water.

Explanation

Covalent substances are made of atoms sharing electrons, and they typically do not have freely moving charged particles to carry an electric current. Therefore, they generally do not conduct electricity in solid, molten, or dissolved forms. The correct choice is “It does not conduct electricity in any form.”
