Q

electrical conductivity of ionic compounds

A

conductor of electricity in molten and aqueous state.
explanation: in solid state, the ions are not free-moving. in molten or aqueous state, the ions are free moving and hence can conduct electricity.

Q

melting and boiling point of simple covalent substances

A

low melting and boiling point
explanation: small amount of heat energy is needed to break the weak intermolecular forces
note** when melting or boiling simple covalent substances we are breaking the weak intermolecular forces and not the covalent bond between the atoms.
