Question

Give reason for following:
(a) Ionic compound have high melting and boiling points.
(b) Ionic compound are soluble in water.
(c) Ionic compound conduct electricity in molten state.​

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) They have high melting and boiling points because they have a strong force of attraction between their ions in order to overcome this strong bond high amount of heat is required. therefore they have high melting and boiling points.

(a) They have high melting and boiling points because they have a strong force of attraction between their ions in order to overcome this strong bond high amount of heat is required. therefore they have high melting and boiling points.

(c) conduction of electricity in molten state is possible since the ions in molten state are free to move as the electrostatic attraction is overcome by the heat. Thus the ions move freely and conduct electricity
