what physical properties trend between covalent substances
melting point, boiling point, non conduction/conduction of electricity, solubility
molecules with stronger intermoleculer forces…
have higher melting and boiling points, reflecting the amount of energy required to break them
molecules in a solid matter are solid because
they do not have enough energy to overcome the intermoleculer forces that hold the molecules together
melting point
when molecules transition into a liquid state whcih has weaker intermoleculer forces
boiling point
when molecules completely overcome intermolecular forces and transition into a gaseous state
