Question
Give any three characteristics of ionic crystals.
Short Note
Solution
- Ionic solids have high melting points.
- These solids do not conduct electricity, because the ions are fixed in their lattice positions.
- They do conduct electricity in a molten state (or) when dissolved in water because the ions are free to move in the molten state or solution.
