Triple - shortest + strongest
7 Diatomic elements
As pure elements, they form covalent bonds with an atom of the same element. H2, N2, O2, F2, Cl2, Br2, I2
Temperature - properties of covalent bonds
have much lower melting points and boiling points than ionic compounds
Room temperature - properties of covalent bonds
many covalent compounds are gases
