Question

write down the properties of ionic and covelent compound​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Covalent compounds :

(a) Have high melting and boiling points

(b) Exist as solids at room temperature.

(b) Exist as solids at room temperature.Non-volatile

(c) Conduct electricity in the molten state or in an aqueous solution but do not conduct electricity in the solid state

(d) Usually soluble in water but insoluble in organic solvents such as ether, alcohol, benzene, tetrachloromethane, propanone and other

Ionic compounds:

(a) Have low melting and boiling points

(b) Usually exist as liquids or gases at room temperature.Volatile

(c) Do not conduct electricity in the solid and liquid states

(d) Usually insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as ether, alcohol, benzene, tetrachloromethane, propanone and other
