High boiling/melting points.
Very hard.
They can conduct electricity when molten or dissolved.
EXPLANATION: High boiling/melting points - they form lattices held together by electrostatic forces of attraction which stretches not only to the atom they reacted with but to all the ions in the lattice, which makes it hard to break.
Very hard - lattice is a regular structure. Also see above.
They can conduct electricity when molten or dissolved - the ions are positively and negatively charged but stuck in fixed positions when a solid. When molten or dissolved, the ions are free to move around and therefore carry the charge so conduct electricity.
What else can I help you with?
What do you call a compound that is held together by an ionic bond?
most ionic compounds are salt
What formula dissolves in water to form an ionic solution?
Ionic compounds, such as sodium chloride (NaCl) or potassium nitrate (KNO3), dissolve in water to form an ionic solution. When these compounds are added to water, they dissociate into ions, which allows them to conduct electricity and exhibit other characteristic properties of ions in solution.
Do ionic compounds form from the sharing of electron pairs?
No, ionic compounds form from the transfer of electrons between atoms, resulting in ions with opposite charges that are held together by electrostatic forces. Sharing of electron pairs, on the other hand, is a characteristic of covalent compounds.
Most salts are binary ionic compounds. A.True?
True. Most salts are binary ionic compounds composed of a metal cation and a nonmetal anion.
Binary ionic compounds are called salts?
yes, but not all salts are binary ionic compounds

The name for most ionic compounds other than oxides?
A "salt" is another name for ionic compounds
Most salts are binary ionic compounds. A.True?
True. Most salts are binary ionic compounds composed of a metal cation and a nonmetal anion.
Which characteristic of ionic bonds can be used to explain the properties of ionic compounds?
the properties of an ionic compound can be explained by ht e strong attractions among ions within a crystal lattice.
Binary ionic compounds are called salts?
yes, but not all salts are binary ionic compounds
Most compounds that produce this in aqueous solution are ionic?
Most compounds that produce an electrolyte in aqueous solution are ionic. When dissolved in water, ionic compounds such as salts dissociate into their constituent ions, increasing the solution's conductivity, which allows it to conduct electricity. This is why most electrolytes in aqueous solution are ionic compounds.
Is ionic compounds polar or non-polar?
Ionic compounds are non-polar because they consist of ions (charged particles) held together by electrostatic forces. These compounds do not have a separation of charge within the molecule, which is characteristic of polar compounds.
What do most ionic compounds form?
Most ionic compounds form crystalline solids. These solids have a repeating pattern of positively and negatively charged ions held together by electrostatic forces.
What are three characteristic properties of iconic compounds?
If you think to ionic compounds:- dissociation in water- good solubility in water- as solids they are insulators- high melting point
The ions in most ionic compounds are organized into what?
crystals :)
