Question

molecular compounds that contain covalent bonds exhibit different properties than ionic compounds such as the following: (pick all that apply) lower melting points higher melting points may be liquids or gases generally softer hard and brittle question 4 1 pts covalent bonds are generally formed between two or more metal atoms. true false

Explanation:

1. Molecular compounds with covalent bonds have weaker intermolecular forces compared to ionic compounds, resulting in lower melting points, can be liquids or gases at room - temperature, and are generally softer. Ionic compounds are hard and brittle with higher melting points.
2. Covalent bonds are formed between non - metal atoms by sharing electrons, not between metal atoms.

Answer:

For the first question: lower melting points, may be liquids or gases, generally softer.
For the second question: False
