Question

Which property of covalent compounds is typically true? They have high melting points and boiling points. They are usually gases or liquids at room temperature. They form between metals and nonmetals. They are excellent conductors of electricity.

Answer 1

The property that is typically true for covalent compounds is that **they are usually gases or liquids at room temperature**. Covalent compounds generally have lower melting and boiling points compared to ionic compounds and are often found in gaseous or liquid states at room temperature. They usually form between nonmetals rather than between metals and nonmetals. Additionally, covalent compounds are typically poor conductors of electricity in any state.
