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 have weak intermolecular forces. This results in low melting and boiling points, and they are poor conductors of heat and electricity because they do not have free - moving charged particles. The covalent bonds within the molecules are strong, but the forces between molecules are weak.

Answer:

They are poor conductors of heat.
