Properties of Covalent Molecules and Giant Covalent Structures

The video tutorial explains the properties of covalent molecules, highlighting their strong internal bonds and weak intermolecular interactions, leading to low melting and boiling points. It discusses the conditions required for covalent molecules to conduct electricity, noting their lack of charged particles. The formation of polymers from monomers and their properties, such as high melting points due to strong intermolecular forces, are covered. Finally, the video explores giant covalent structures like diamond and silica, emphasizing their stability, high melting points, and inability to conduct electricity, with graphite as an exception.
