"properties of ionic compound" explain physical nature melting and boiling point, solubility and conduction of electricity.
Answers
Answer:
ionic compounds are strongly bounded to each other and are difficult to break. those melting point is also high. Ionic compounds conduct electricity only in molten state and they are soluble
Properties of Ionic compounds:
•Due to the presence of the strong force of attraction between the positive and negative ions, ionic compounds are solids and are hard to break.
•Due to the presence of electrostatic forces of attraction between ions, a large amount of energy is required to break the ionic bonds between the atoms. Thus, ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points.
•Ionic compounds are generally soluble in polar solvents such as water.
•Ionic compounds are generally insoluble in organic solvents; like kerosene, petrol, etc.
•Ionic compounds do not conduct electricity in the solid-state but are good conductors in a molten state.
