(b) Distingushe between ionic and covalent compounds based on their electrical
conductivity
Answers
Answer:
plz mark me as BRAINIEST answer
Explanation:
Ionic compounds are soluble in water but covalent compounds are insoluble in water. Ionic compounds conduct electricity when dissolved in water or when melted because they contain ions (charged particles). But, covalent compounds like glucose do not conduct electricity because they do not contain ions.
Ionic Compound Covalent Compound They have a very high strength They have strength of the
of the intermolecular force. intermolecular force less than
that of ionic compounds
Highly Soluble in Polar solvents. Highly Soluble in Apolar solvents.
Conduct electricity to a very high extent Conduct electricity to a extent less
than that of ionic compound.
