4 Copy and complete these sentences using the words below to fill the gaps.

covalent giant high low molecules strong weak

Although bonds are very strong, the forces between simple covalent molecules

are Because of this, substances with small ,

such as methane or ammonia, have very melting and boiling points.

Some covalent materials, such as diamond or silicon dioxide, form structures.

Because every bond in these materials is a covalent bond, they are hard solids

with melting and boiling points.
