Compounds
Ionic Compounds
High melting and boiling point
Souluble in water but not in organic solvent
Can conduct electricity in molten and aqueous state but not in solid state.
Non-volatile
Covalent Compounds
Covalent molecules have low melting and boiling point because of weak intermolecular forces. Therefore little heat is neede to overcome these forces.
Properties
Volatile
Usually are gases or liquid at room temperature.
Low melting and boiling point.
Soluble in organic solvent but insoluble in water.
Cannot conduct electricity in any form
