SOME PROPERTIES OF IONIC COMPOUND

• They are crystalline solids and hard in nature
• They are brittle and have High melting and boiling points
• They doesn't exhibit isomerism and Ionic bonds are non-directional
• The are polar due to the prescence of oppositely charged ions
• They conduct electricity in molten state and are also known as electrolytes
