Q
Ionic compounds : ( melting point and boiling point, conducting electricity)
A
- have high melting and boiling
- do not conduct electricity when solid, because the ions cannot move
- however they do conduct electricity when molten or in solution, because the charged ions are free to move about and carry their charge
