Properties of ionic compound

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(i) Ionic compounds have strong melting and boiling point because they have oppositely charged ions which are held together by strong electrostatic force, so a lot of heat energy is required to break the bond.
(ii) Ionic compounds are usually a crystalline solids because their oppositely charged ions attract one another strongly and form a regular crystalline structure.
(iii) Ionic compounds are usually soluble in water but insoluble in organic solvents like ether, benzene, alcohol, kerosene etc.
