(b)The nature of the compound is ionic bond
Three properties of ionic bond are as follows:-
(i) Physical nature: Ionic compounds are solids and are somewhat hard because of the strong force of attraction between the positive and negative ions. These compounds are generally brittle and break into pieces when pressure is applied.
(ii) Melting and Boiling points: Ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points This is because a considerable amount of energy is required to break the strong inter-ionic attraction.
(iii)Solubility: Electrovalent compounds are generally soluble in water and insoluble in solvents such as kerosene, petrol, etc.
