Write the general properties of Ionic Compounds.

Explanation

Properties of Ionic compounds :
1) In general Ionic compounds are solids.
2) They possess high melting and boiling points.
3) Ionic compounds are soluble in polar solvents like water but insoluble in organic solvents like benzene, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, etc.
4) Ionic compounds in solid state, are bad conductors of electricity, due to absence of free ions.
5) In fused state or in their aqueous solutions, free ions are present. Then, they are good conductors of electricity.
6) Reactions between ionic compounds are very fast.
7) They do not exhibit isomerism because, ionic bond is non-directional.
