Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Covalent compounds typically have low melting points. The exceptions to this rule are molecules of silica and diamonds with high melting points. These compounds are characterised by low boiling points. The weak attraction between the several connected atoms accounts for this. Van der Waals forces unite these atoms. These compounds typically take the form of gases or liquids with low melting and boiling points. Covalent compounds do not often have polar characteristics. Therefore, water cannot dissolve these compounds. Covalent chemicals include things like benzene (C6H6) and carbon tetrachloride (CCl4).
