Question

Give reason (i) ionic compounds have high melting point (ii) ionic compounds are soluble in water (iii) ionic compounds conduct electricity in molten

Answer 1

1. as we know taht ionic compounds are formed between a metal n a nonmetal and the electron is transfered frm the metal to non metal and hence making the metal positively charged and nonmetal negatively charged and thus the opposiely charged ions attracts each other ..they are held together with a strong electostatic force hence it is vry difficult to break ther bond existing between it therefore they have high melting point.

2. bcoz the ions when attracts each others as explaind above they are arranged orderly hence they forms hard solid crystalline
