Answer 2

Ionic bond or electrovalent bond is a bond formed due to complete transfer of electrons.

Compounds formed as a result of ionic bond are called as ionic comoounds.

• Ionic compounds are generally solids because their ions are held by strong attractive forces.

• Ionic compounds are good conductors of electricity in molten or aqueous state due to the presence of free mobile ions.

• Ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points because in them ions are held by strong intermolecular forces of attraction. To break these strong forces a large amount of energy is required.
