Which of the following is a property of ionic compounds?
Correct Answer: Ionic compounds are generally soluble in water.
- Step 1: Understand what ionic compounds are. They are made of positive and negative ions.
- Step 2: Know that ionic compounds form strong bonds due to the attraction between these oppositely charged ions.
- Step 3: Learn that when ionic compounds are placed in water, the water molecules can interact with the ions.
- Step 4: Realize that the strong interactions between water molecules and the ions help to separate the ions from each other.
- Step 5: Conclude that because of this interaction, ionic compounds are generally soluble in water.
