Question

Which statement about covalent compounds is true?
They are able to melt at high temperatures.
They are poor conductors of heat.
They have strong intermolecular attractions.
They have atomic bonds that are easy to break.

GPT-5 mini · Answer

They are poor conductors of heat.

Reason: Most covalent (molecular) compounds have no free charged particles and weak intermolecular forces, so they conduct heat and electricity poorly and typically have low melting/boiling points. (Note: network covalent solids like diamond are exceptions.)
