2. Which of the properties listed here are characteristic of an ionic bond?
i. low melting point
ii. good electricity conductor as a solid
iii. dissolves in water to form a solution that contains mostly ions
iv. dissolves to form a solution that contains mostly molecules
v. good electricity conductor when melted
vi. forms solid crystals
The Options are:
a. i,iii,iv
b. ii,v,vi
c. iii,v,vi
d. ii,iii,v
e. i,iii,vi
3 answers
The correct answer is: c. iii, v, vi
are these correct?
Apologies for the confusion. The correct answer should be: c. iii, v, vi.
Let me explain the properties characteristic of an ionic bond:
iii. An ionic bond involves the transfer of electrons between atoms, resulting in the formation of ions. When an ionic compound dissolves in water, it dissociates into ions, forming a solution that contains mostly ions.
v. Ionic compounds are typically good electricity conductors when melted or dissolved in water. In the molten or aqueous state, the ions are free to move and carry an electric charge.
vi. Ionic compounds tend to form solid crystals with a distinct regular lattice structure. The strong electrostatic attraction between the positively and negatively charged ions holds the crystal structure together.
