Are most ionic compounds solids?
At room temperature, most ionic compounds are solids.
Do ionic solids have low melting points?
No, ionic solids have very high melting points. Ionic solids are one of the strongest bonds formed among elements.
Why are ionic solids hard and brittle?
Ionic solids are brittle and hard as they are bonded with electrostatic bonds.
The boiling points of ionic solids tend to be?
The boiling points of ionic solids tend to be very high.
How would you describe the melting points of the ionic solids?
Ionic solids are characterized by high melting points.

A crystalline solid that is electrically neutral MOST likely has bonds?
Ionic bonds. All chemical compounds are electrically neutral, in that they do not posess an overall electrstaic charge. Crystalline solids could be either ionic or covalent. The most likely ones to be encountered in a laboratory or in the home are ionic solids. Most ionic compounds are crystalline solids at normal temperature. Ionic solids are generally the union of a metal and a non-metal. Examples include salt (sodium chloride), fluorite (calcium fluoride), and pyrite (iron sulfide). Ionic compounds are electrically neutral because the charges of their ions cancel out. So the answer is ionic bonds.
The boiling points of ionic solids tend to be?
The boiling points of ionic solids tend to be very high.
How would you describe the melting points of the ionic solids?
Ionic solids are characterized by high melting points.
What forces hold ionic solids together?
Ionic bonds
What is a group of atoms united by ionic bonds?
Ionic solids
Why are ionic liquids used in batteries but ionic compounds are not?
Ionic solids are not dissociated in ions.
What has lower melting points than ionic solids?
Molecular solids
How does electrostatic attraction relate to ionic solids and bonding?
Ionic bonding refers to the electrostatic attraction between cations and anions. Ionic solids do not conduct electricity (they are insulators).
