Section B: Give a very short answer to the question given below.
22. The melting and boiling points of carbon compounds are generally low and they are largely non-conductors of electricity. State two conclusions based on these two properties.
Based on the low melting and boiling points and the non-conductive nature of most carbon compounds, we can conclude the followings:
The presence of weak forces in carbon compounds plays a significant role in their volatility and non-conductivity, further highlighting their unique properties.
Carbon compounds' low melting and boiling points suggest that they are generally held together by bonds rather than ionic ones.
The presence of weak forces in carbon compounds plays a significant role in their volatility and non-conductivity, further highlighting their unique properties.

The fact that carbon compounds are essentially non-conductors of electricity indicates that they do not have or delocalized electrons.
