Explanation:

Answer 2

a. Compound that dissolves easily in water:

• In order to melt an ionic compound, it is imperative to break ionic bonds.
• Hence, ionic compounds are having high melting points.
• In order to melt a covalent compound, it is not important to break bonds.

b. conducts electricity in solution:

• Because salt and vetsin are considered ionic bonds, ionic compounds conduct electricity when it is in the form of the solution not in the solid phase.
• Hence, vetsin and salt can conduct electricity only if it is dissolved in the water.

c. Melts easily:

• Compound that tends to have higher rate of melting and boiling points than covalent compounds.
• Ionic compounds have a tendency to become hard and brittle when covalent compounds are softer and more flexible.
