1) Explain why ionic compounds have such high melting and boiling points when
compared with covalent compounds.
2) Why do ionic compounds conduct electricity when dissolved in water, but not when
the solid state?
5) Describe whether the following compounds are likely to be ionic or not ionic based
on the properties given. Explain your reasoning.
Compound 3 is a gelatinous material that is formed when two other materials are
combined in a crucible.
Compound 2 is a brittle material that can be used to make electrical wires. Not
ionic. Ionic compounds only conduct electricity when melted or dissolved.
Compound 3 is a gelatinous material that is formed when two other materials are
combined in a crucible. Not ionic. Ionic compounds are crystalline, not
gelationous.
