प्रश्न
Explain why covalent compounds have generally high melting points?
उत्तर
Covalent compounds are made up of electrically neutral molecules. So the force of attraction between the molecules is very weak. Only a small amount of heat energy is required to break these weak molecular forces, due to which covalent compounds have a low melting point.

Identify the incorrect statement and correct them.
- Like covalent compounds, coordinate compounds also contain charged particles (ions). So they are good conductors of electricity.
- Ionic bond is a weak bond when compared to Hydrogen bond.
- Ionic or electrovalent bonds are formed by mutual sharing of electrons between atoms.
- Loss of electrons is called Oxidation and gain of electron is called Reduction.
- The electrons which are not involved in bonding are called valence electrons.
In covalent bond formation, the sharing of ______ electrons takes place in their outermost shell.
Non-polar covalent compounds are ______ conductors of heat and electricity.
