Covalent molecules

Small Covalent Molecules :

• Intramolecular forces are forces within molecules.
• Small covalent molecules are held together by strong intramolecular forces called covalent bonds. \n
• Lots of small covalent molecules can be held together by intermolecular forces.
• But these intermolecular forces are weak and easy to break. This means small covalent molecules have low melting and boiling points (they're often liquids or gases at room temperature).
