I. Ionic compounds have more strength of forces because of the presence of strong electrostatic bond then covalent compounds
2. Ionic compounds are soluble in water because they are polar solutes and water is a polar solvent but covalent compounds are not soluble in water
3. Ionic compounds can conduct electricity in aqueous solution as they produce ions but covalent compounds can't conduct electricity.
