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. Otherwise, it likely contains covalent bonds. Was the hypothesis, repeated above, completely supported? Justify your answers.

It DOES contain ionic bonds because covalent can’t dissolve in water or conduct electricity. The substance will not contain covalent bonds.
