Answer:
- high melting and boiling point.
- they are hard and brittle.
- they are almost always electrically insulating.
- if they are melted or dissolve become highly conductivity because the ions are mobilized.
I hope it will help you....

Answer:
properties of ionic compounds
1) Physical nature:ionic compounds are solids and are somewhat hard because of the strong force of attraction between the positive and negative ions. these compounds are generally brittle and break into pieces when pressure is applied
2) Melting and boiling points: Ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points this is because a considerable amount of energy is required to break the strong inter-ionic attraction
3) solubility: electrovalent compounds ar generally soluble in water and insoluble in solvents such as kerosene...etc
4) conduction of electricity: the conduction of electricity through a solution involves the movement of charged particles.
