Question 9 • Chemistry

How do ionic bonds affect the properties of ionic compounds?

Answer
A
The bonds strongly hold ions together, reducing the boiling point.
B
The bonds prevent ions from moving throughout the crystal, so a solid ionic compound is a poor conductor.
C
The bonds prevent electrons from moving throughout the crystal, so a solid ionic compound is a good conductor.
D
The bonds weakly hold ions together, increasing the melting point.
