Question

..
Give reasons for the following:
a) Ionic compounds have high melting point and boiling point
b) Ionic compounds conduct electricity in molten state.
c) Ionic compounds are solids at room temperature and are
somewhat hard.
please please please please help me urgently needed please please ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

a) ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points because there is strong electrostatic force of attraction between the oppositely charged ions and hence a a large amount of energy is required to strong bonding force between the ions

b) Ionic compounds conduct electricity in molten statebecause in these compounds ions are free to move and in molten state they contain cations and anions and hence are to conduct electricity.

c) because electron present in them have a very strong attraction between them that is why ionic compounds are solid at room temperature and are hard
