What is an ionic compound write any two properties of it?

Answer 1

an ionic compound contains only ions and they are good conductors only in molten state or fised state.

Answer 2

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.
