Which of the following is not correct regarding the properties of ionic compounds?
Options
- AIonic compounds have high melting and boiling points
- BTheir reaction velocity in aqueous medium is very high
- CIonic compounds in their molten and aqueous solutions do not conduct electricity
- DThey are highly soluble in. polar solvents
Correct answer
C. Ionic compounds in their molten and aqueous solutions do not conduct electricity
Step-by-step solution
Ionic compounds are good conductor of electricity in molten or in solution state. However, they are bad conductor in solid state.
