Question

explain characteristics /properties of ionic compounds​

Answer 1

Explanation:

They form crystals. 2) They have high melting and high boiling points. 3) They are hard and brittle. 4) They have higher enthalpies of fusion and vapourisation than molecular compounds. 5) They conduct electricity when dissolved in water

Answer 2

Answer:

An ionic bond is formed when the electronegativity difference between the participating elements in the bond is large.

Greater the difference, stronger will be the attraction between the positive ion (cation) and negative ion (anion).

Characteristics of ionic compounds.-

1) They form crystals.

2) They have high melting and high boiling points.

3) They are hard and brittle.

4) They have higher enthalpies of fusion and vapourisation than molecular compounds.

5) They conduct electricity when dissolved in water.

6) Ionic solids do not conduct electricity so they are good insulators also.
