Question

Sample hypothesis: If a substance is solid at room temperature, has a crystalline structure, dissolves easily in water, and conducts electricity well, then it likely contains ionic bonds.

Select all properties that you included in your hypothesis.

. . . high melting and boiling points and therefore solid at room temperature

. . . a crystalline structure

. . . ability to dissolve easily in water

. . . ability to conduct electricity well

Answer 1

All four. I included:
- high melting/boiling points (solid at room temperature)
- a crystalline structure
- ability to dissolve easily in water
- ability to conduct electricity well
