Expert Answer:
Dear Student
This is because covalent compounds have covalent bonding in them which is formed by sharing of electrons between atoms. The intermolecular bonding is weak. Thus, the molecules are loosely held by each other. Hence , covalent compounds are generally liquid or gaseous in state.
