Question

The crystal lattice structure of ionic compounds is responsible for which set of characteristic properties?

electrically charged, good conductor of heat and electricity, low melting and boiling point

good conductor of heat, ductile, malleable, high melting and boiling point

found in many states at room temperature, low melting and boiling point

liquid, flowing, alkaline, very low melting and boiling point

solid, hard yet brittle, very high melting and boiling point

Answer 1

E. Solid, hard, yet brittle, high melting point

Answer 2

The ionic bonding results in the properties:
solid, hard yet brittle, very high melting and boiling point. The fourth option is correct.
