Question

If a compound has a high melting point, and conducts electricity as a solid and as a liquid, what
type of structure is it?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Generally, ionic crystals form from a combination of Group 1 or 2 metals and Group 16 or 17 nonmetals or nonmetallic polyatomic ions. Ionic crystals are hard and brittle and have high melting points. Ionic compounds do not conduct electricity as solids, but do conduct electricity when molten or in aqueous solution.
