(1) melting points : ionic compounds have higher melting points than covalent
compounds
(2) boiling points : ionic compounds have higher boiling point than covalent compounds
(3)⏩solubility : ionic compounds have greater solubility in water than a covalent compound
(4)⏩conductivity in aquaeous solution : ionic compounds have greater electrical conductivity in aqueous solution which while covalent compounds are usually non-conductive.

Hey!
___
_________________________________________________________
→What are covalent compounds ?
=> Compounds formed by the sharing of electrons of the valence shell are called covalent compounds . For example , CCl4.
→What are Ionic Compounds ?
=> Compounds formed by the gain or loss of electrons are called Ionic compounds. For example NaCl.
______________________________
Ques. state four major physical properties that can be used to distinguish between covalent and ionic compounds mention the distinguishing features of each case?
=> The following properties can be used to determine the difference between them →
➡Ionic compounds exist as solids at room temperature but covalent compounds exist basically as liquids or gas .
➡Ionic compounds have High Melting and boiling points but covalent compounds have low melting and boiling point .
➡Ionic compounds are Brittle and break when hit hard but it is not so with covalent compounds.
➡Ionic compounds are soluble in polar solvents but covalent compounds are soluble in non polar solvents. [ Like dissolves like ]
