Explain why reactions involving covalent compounds are generally slow?

Expert Answer
Covalent bond compounds are formed by the mutual sharing of electrons between the atoms in the compound. These compounds do not produce ions in the aqueous solution.
Reactions of covalent bonded compounds involve breaking of bonds in reacting molecules and forming new covalent bonds in the products. Thus, these reactions are relatively slow.
