• HOW ARE THE MOLECULES HELD IN A REGULAR ARRANGEMENT?

  intermolecular forces
• HOW ARE THE MOLECULES HELD?

  in a regular arrangement
• WHERE ARE THE COVALENT BONDS FOUND?

  within molecules not between them
• WHAT DO THE COVALENT BONDS WITHIN THE MOLECULES DO?

  hold atoms together
• WHAT ARE THE MAIN PROPERTIES OF SIMPLE MOLECULAR CRYSTALS?

  • soft
  • break easily
  • low melting point
  • do not conduct electricity
• WHY DO SIMPLE MOLECULAR CRYSTALS HAVE LOW MELTING POINTS?

  intermolecular forces are weaker than bonds (ionic, covalent, metallic)

  iodine
• WHY DO SIMPLE MOLECULAR COMPOUNDS NOT CONDUCT?

  no charged particles to carry charge'
