Give reason for the following:
Covalent compounds have a low melting and boiling point.

उत्तर
Covalent compounds are held together by modest intramolecular forces. As a result, breaking the bonds between two or more molecules requires only a minimal amount of energy.
Therefore, these compounds have low melting and boiling points.
