Question 3 • AL-Physical Science A- TAP

Which is a property of ionic compounds?

Answer
A
soft and brittle
B
low boiling point
C
able to conduct electricity
D
low melting point

Explanation

Ionic compounds can conduct electricity when melted or dissolved in water because their charged ions are free to move. In the solid state, the ions are fixed in place, so they do not conduct. Ionic compounds generally have high melting and boiling points, so choices B and D are not properties.
