Which property best describes an ionic compound?a) low melting pointb) solid, liquid, or gas at ambient temperaturesc) conducts a current in any stated) high boiling point

Answer 1

High boiling point

OPTION D

Explanation:

Firstly, we need to know the meaning of an ionic compound

Ionic compounds: These are compounds that consist of ions held together by an electrostatic force. The compound is always neutral but contains a positively charged ion called the cation and a negatively charged ion called the anion. Ionic compounds have the following properties

• They have a high melting point

,

• They have a high boiling point

,

• They are usually soluble in water

,

• They conduct electricity when dissolved in water or melted

,

• They are usually crystalline solid

From the option provided, the only correct answer is; it has a high boiling point
