Properties of Covalent Compounds - The covalent compounds do not exist as ions but they exist as molecules They exist at room temperature, as liquids or gases. However, a few compounds also exist in the solid state e.g. urea, sugar, etc. The melting..

Covalent Compounds and Periodic Table - Covalent compounds are formed by the sharing of electrons by atoms of non-metallic elements between groups IVA and VIIA. The elements of these groups react with one another by sharing election pairs. Thus, the valency o..
