Peter performed an experiment to test which of the three compounds his teacher gave him was an ionic compound. The table shows his results. An 8-column table with three rows. The first row labeled compound has entries A, B, C. The second column labeled hard has entries no, yes, yes. The third column labeled brittle has entries no, yes, yes. The fourth column labeled forms crystals has entries no, yes, yes. The fifth column labeled dissolves in water has entries no, yes, yes. The sixth column has entries labeled boiling point (degrees C) with entries 2567, 1465, and not observed. The seventh column labeled melting point (degrees C) has entries 1083, 801, 180. The eight column labeled conducts electricity has entries labeled no, yes, no. Which compound (A, B, or C) is most likely an ionic compound?

Answer:B is an ionic compound

Explanation:This is because when we look at the properties of ionic compounds, we see that the form crystals just like salt(sodium chloride), they dissolve in water, have a high boiling and melting point, are hard due to the strong intermolecular forces between atoms and conduct electricity (only molten or in solution form)
