Properties of Covalent Molecular Compounds. 1  Low melting points and boiling points. 2  Low enthalpies of fusion and vaporization These properties are usually one or two orders of magnitude smaller than they are for ionic compounds. 3  Soft or brittle solid forms. 4  Poor electrical and thermal conductivity.
