which property is a characteristic of an ionic compound?
402660
Ionic Compounds have high boiling and melting points as they're very strong and require a lot of energy to break. The electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions lead to the formation of ions. Ionic compounds form crystals. These compounds are brittle and break into small pieces easily.

Ionic compounds are made up of molecules as well. Ionic compounds have all the characteristics of a compound. The bond that holds the atoms together in it is ionic bond; electrostatic force of attract... ... Ionic compounds have 2 or more ions joined together by means of ionic bond into molecules.

Among the given compounds the least ionic is AgCl. The ionic characteristics decrease as we move from left to right in the periodic table and it increases as we move top to bottom in any group.

Ionic compounds are compounds composed of ions, charged particles that form when an atom (or group of atoms) gains or loses electrons. (A cation is a positively charged ion; an anion is a negatively charged ion.)

Ionic compounds tend to have high melting and boiling points, because the attraction between ions in the lattice is very strong. Moving ions out of the lattice disrupts the structure, so ionic compounds tend to be brittle rather than malleable.
967379
Ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points, so they are in the solid state at room temperature.

In contrast, covalent compounds do not exhibit any electrical conductivity, either in pure form or when dissolved in water. Ionic compounds exist in stable crystalline structures. Therefore, they have higher melting and boiling points compared to covalent compounds.
145682
Key Points Ionic compounds are formed from strong electrostatic interactions between ions, which result in higher melting points and electrical conductivity compared to covalent compounds. Covalent compounds have bonds where electrons are shared between atoms.
102831
They have high melting points and high boiling points. High temperatures are required to overcome the attraction between the positive and negative ions in ionic compounds. Therefore, a lot of energy is required to melt ionic compounds or cause them to boil.

Ionic compounds are compounds made up of ions. These ions are atoms that gain or lose electrons, giving them a net positive or negative charge. Metals tend to lose electrons, so they become cations and have a net positive charge. Nonmetals tend to gain electrons, forming anions that have a net negative charge.
358432
Ions form when atoms lose or gain electrons. Ionic compounds have positive ions and negative ions. Ionic formulas balance the total positive and negative charges. Ionic compounds have a simple system of naming.

A basic definition of an ionic compound is that they are molecules that consist of charged ions. These ions have opposite (both negative and positive) charges. On the other hand, covalent compounds are non-metals which are bound together, and consist of two electrons that are shared between two atoms.

Ionic compounds tend to have higher melting and boiling points than covalent compounds. Ionic compounds tend to be hard and brittle while covalent compounds tend to be softer and more flexible. Ionic compounds conduct electricity when dissolved in water while covalent compounds typically don't.

Mno is the most ionic compound. Mno has the lowest magnitude positive charge hence Mno is the most ionic compound. Magnitude of the positive charge is directly proportional to Polarization power , directly proportional to Covalent character and indirectly proportional to ionic character.

Ionic solids—Made up of positive and negative ions and held together by electrostatic attractions. They're characterized by very high melting points and brittleness and are poor conductors in the solid state. An example of an ionic solid is table salt, NaCl.
