Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following is a characteristic of ionic solids? (2020)
  • Step 1: Understand what ionic solids are. Ionic solids are made up of positively and negatively charged ions.
  • Step 2: Recognize that these ions are held together by strong forces called electrostatic forces.
  • Step 3: Know that because of these strong forces, ionic solids require a lot of energy to break apart.
  • Step 4: This energy requirement results in high melting points for ionic solids.
