"Very hard and brittle" is NOT a property of (molecular) covalent compounds.
Explanation: Molecular covalent substances typically have low melting/boiling points, are often liquids or gases at room temperature, and are poor electrical conductors. Being very hard and brittle is characteristic of ionic solids (and of covalent network solids like diamond), not of ordinary molecular covalent compounds.
