The strong attractions among ions within a crystal lattice. Use ionization energy to explain why metals lose electrons more easily than nonmetals. Metals have lower ionization energies than nonmetals.

hello Dost ☺
Answer :
Properties of ionic compounds
1. Physical nature:solid and hard due to strong force of attraction. (generally brittle)
2. Melting point and boiling point:have high M.P and B.P, as large amount of heat energy is required to break strong ionic attraction.
3. Solubility: soluble in water and insoluble in kerosene and pertrol.
4. Conduction of electricity:ionic compounds in solid state- does not conduct electricity.
Reason—Ions can not move due to rigid solid structure. Ionic compounds conduct electricity in molten state.
Thanks ☺
