Which of these is true for most of the organic compounds?
Which of these is true for most of the organic compounds?
- A. Low melting and boiling points
- B. High melting and boiling points
- C. Low melting point but high boiling point
- D. High melting point but low boiling point
Step-by-step solution
Most organic compounds are covalent in nature. Covalent compounds typically have weak intermolecular forces (e.g., van der Waals forces), resulting in low melting and boiling points compared to ionic or metallic compounds.
