properties of ionic compound
Answers
Explanation:
They form crystals. Ionic compounds form crystal lattices rather than amorphous solids.
They have higher enthalpies of fusion and vaporization than molecular compounds.
They are hard.
They are brittle.
They have high melting points and also high boiling points.
They conduct electricity but only when they are dissolved in water.

Answer :
Properties of ionic compounds
1. Physical nature:solid and hard due to strong force of attraction. (generally brittle)
2. Melting point and boiling point:have high M.P and B.P, as large amount of heat energy is required to break strong ionic attraction.
3. Solubility: soluble in water and insoluble in kerosene and pertrol.
4. Conduction of electricity:ionic compounds in solid state- does not conduct electricity.
Reason—Ions can not move due to rigid solid structure. Ionic compounds conduct electricity in molten state.
