  1. High volatility
  2. High melting points
  3. Poor solubility in water
  4. Good electrical conductivity in solid state

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following is a characteristic of ionic compounds?
  • Step 1: Understand what ionic compounds are. They are formed when atoms transfer electrons from one to another, creating charged ions.
  • Step 2: Recognize that these ions have opposite charges (positive and negative).
  • Step 3: Learn that the attraction between these oppositely charged ions is called electrostatic force.
  • Step 4: Know that strong electrostatic forces mean that a lot of energy is needed to separate the ions.
  • Step 5: Conclude that because of these strong forces, ionic compounds usually have high melting points.
