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.

Explanation:

Covalent compounds are formed by sharing of electrons between atoms. They have weak intermolecular forces. Due to this, they are poor conductors of heat and electricity, have relatively low melting and boiling - points. The covalent bonds within the molecules are strong but intermolecular forces are weak.

Answer:

They are poor conductors of heat.
