molecules containing a few atoms joined together by covalent bonds
common examples of simple molecular substances are:
what are the properties of simple molecular substances?
-strong covalent bonds with weak intermolelcular forces, causes low melting and boiling point as little energy is needed to break bonds
-gases or liquids at room temp
-as molecule gets bigger, intermolecular forces increase along with melting and boiling points -molecular compounds dont conduct electricity as they are not charged so have no free electrons
