Question

What type of bonding is associated with compounds that have the following characteristics? high melting points conducts electricity in the molten state solutions conduct electricity normally crystalline solids at room temperature A. Covalent B. Ionic C. Hydrogen D. Metallic

Answer 1

B.Ionic Bonding

Step-by-step explanation:

Properties of Ionic Solid are as follow:

• High melting point because of strong electrostatic attraction between opposite charge.

• Conducts electricity in molten state or aqueous solution(free electron for conduction)

• Insulator in solid state(no free electron)

• Examples : NaCL,MgO, ZnS
