Question 8

Anna stated that ionic compounds have high melting points and low boiling points. She said that this demonstrates that ionic compounds have strong bonds because a lot of energy is needed to break the electrical forces that hold the bonds together.Which statement best describes Anna’s error?

Revolt · Accepted Answer

Strong electrical forces will make ionic compounds have high boiling points.
