1) Covalent compounds generally have much lower melting and boiling points than ionic compounds.
2) Covalent compounds are soft and squishy (compared to ionic compounds, anyway).
3) Covalent compounds tend to be more flammable than ionic compounds.
4) Covalent compounds don’t conduct electricity in water.
5) Covalent compounds aren’t usually very soluble in water.
