liquid or gases
they would be solids at room temperature.
Almost all. Some such as calcium carbonate, silver chloride are not soluble. Generally ionic compounds are soluble in water due to their ionic bonds which makes them easy to dissociate in polar solutions such as water.
Like most ionic compounds a a strong acid dissociates into ions when mixed with water.
Ionic compounds have strong electrostatic force of attraction and hence have higher melting points than covalent compounds.

Ionic compounds are hard and rigid due to strong forces of attraction between the oppositely charged ions. Ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points, again due to strong forces of attraction between the ions. Ionic compounds dissolve easily in water.

No. Organic compounds are almost exclusively covalent.
Ionic compounds have strong electrostatic force of attraction and hence have higher melting points than covalent compounds.
due to strong electrostatic forces ionic compounds usually exist as solids at room temperature.
Almost all molten covalent compounds are much worseconductors than almost any molten ionic compounds. However, note that some ionic compounds contain covalently bonded polyatomic ions, and many of these can conduct electricity as well as most other ions in a melt.
yes. the boiling point of ionic compounds is high due to the presence of strong electrostatic force of attraction between the ions.
