Answer:

Low melting points and electrical conductivity in solids are not common properties of ionic solids.

Step-by-step explanation:

In ionic compounds the electrons involved in the bonding are tightly packed under the influence of electrostatic force of attraction. So the movement of these electrons is very difficult.

In the melting point the bond breaking between the atoms is involved. Hence in case of ionic compound there is a high amount of energy needed to break the ionic bonds
