would ionic or covalent substances be more dangerous near an open flame? why?
Answered by DrBob222
In general, covalent materials have a lower boiling point than ionic substances; therefore, a covalent material is likely to be a vapor or easily converted to a gas. However, not all covalent substances are flammable.

ok but would they be more dangerous?
Answered by DrBob222
See my response above. This may be a question from a class but, in my opinion, not a very good one. It all depends upon what we consider a danger. Is it the fire hazard, the health hazard of breathing noxious fumes,??

the fire hazard (unfortunately, this question will probably not be answered because it is 10 years later, but i'll post it anyways)
