AI Generated Solution

### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Aluminium Bromide (AlBr3)**: - Aluminium bromide is an ionic compound composed of aluminium ions (Al³⁺) and bromide ions (Br⁻). In its solid state, it forms a crystalline lattice structure where these ions are held together by strong ionic bonds. 2. **Melting of Aluminium Bromide**: - When aluminium bromide is heated, it melts and transitions from a solid to a molten state. During this process, the ionic bonds are broken, allowing the ions to move freely. ...
