What is the general property of covalent compounds?

Back

Covalent compounds usually have lower melting and boiling points compared to ionic compounds.

Front

What is the significance of electronegativity in bonding?

Back

Electronegativity determines how strongly an atom attracts electrons in a bond, influencing whether the bond is ionic or covalent.
