Question

which of the following describes a compound that contains molecular covalent bonds? a does not conduct a current as a solid or as a liquid and sometimes dissolves in water b is a hard, malleable solid c has a very high melting point and does not dissolve in water d conducts a current as a solid or when dissolved in water

Explanation:

Molecular covalent - bonded compounds have weak intermolecular forces. They do not have freely - moving charged particles for conduction. They may dissolve in water depending on polarity. Option A describes these characteristics. Option B describes metals. Option C describes network covalent or ionic compounds. Option D describes ionic compounds or metals.

Answer:

A. does not conduct a current as a solid or as a liquid and sometimes dissolves in water
