Question

compounds that are only found in solid state are? covalent ionic

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Ionic compounds are held together by strong electrostatic forces (ionic bonds). These strong forces require a large amount of energy to break, so ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points. As a result, under normal conditions (room temperature and pressure), ionic compounds are typically in the solid state. Covalent compounds can exist in various states (solid, liquid, gas) depending on the nature of the covalent bonds and intermolecular forces. For example, simple covalent molecules like \(CO_2\) (carbon dioxide) are gases at room temperature.
