Question

Write down the properties of ionic compounds 0

Answer 1

Ionic compounds are hard,solid and brittle

They have high melting point and high boiling point.

They are soluble in water and insoluble in solvents.

They conduct electricity in molten 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.
