Which one of the following properties is not generally exhibited by ionic compounds?

A

Solubility in water

B

Electrical conductivity in solid state

C

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Ionic compounds can conduct electricity in molten or aqueous state only. in soiid state, these are non-conductor of electricity because of the absence oi iree ions. in the solid ionic compounds. the ions are held together in fixed position by strong electrostatic force and cannot move freely.
So, eiectricai conductivity in solid state is not generally exhibited by ionic compounds
