What are the typical properties of a ionic bond?

Answer 1

hard

crystilline

solid

high melting point soluble

Answer 2

Ionic bonds typically form between atoms with a large difference in electronegativity, resulting in the transfer of electrons from one atom (usually a metal) to another atom (usually a nonmetal). This transfer leads to the formation of ions with opposite charges, which are held together by electrostatic forces, creating a strong bond. Ionic compounds tend to have high melting and boiling points, are soluble in water, and can conduct electricity when dissolved or melted.
