An example of an ionic solid is table salt, NaCl. Molecular solids—Made up of atoms or molecules held together by London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole forces, or hydrogen bonds. Characterized by low melting points and flexibility and are poor conductors.

a) Ionic compounds b) Metals c) Water. Ionic compounds in the solid state do not conduct electricity because movement of ions in the solid is not possible due to their rigid structure.

Key Points Covalent compounds have bonds where electrons are shared between atoms. Due to the sharing of electrons, they exhibit characteristic physical properties that include lower melting points and electrical conductivity compared to ionic compounds.

Ionic compounds are compounds whereas metals are elements. Ionic compounds are electrolytes whereas metals are conductors. Ionic compounds are brittle whereas metals are malleable and ductile. Metals are sonorous and are shiny whereas ionic compounds are not.

Typical properties of perovskites. Perovskite exhibited a variety of fascinating properties like ferroelectricity as in case of BaTiO3 and superconductivity as in case of Ba2YCu3O7. They exhibited good electrical conductivity close to metals, ionic conductivity and mixed ionic and electronic conductivity.

High melting points and boiling points Ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points, so they are in the solid state at room temperature.

The physical and chemical properties of covalent compounds tend to vary much more than they do for ionic compounds. These compounds may be solids, liquid or gases at room temperature. They are not usually electrically conductive. Polar covalent compounds are soluble in water but nonpolar ones are not.

SolutionThe two characteristics of component ions that determine the crystal structure of a ceramic compound are: 1) the magnitude of the electrical charge on each ion, and 2) the relative sizes of the cations and anions.

The atoms in an ionic compound have a difference in electronegativity greater than 1.7, meaning one of the atoms will be able to attract the outer electron of the other atom. They are solid at standard pressure and temperature, and they have high boiling and melting points.

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.

Briefly discuss three physical properties of ionic solids that are linked to ionic bonds. Ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points because ionic bonds are strong and the crystals require a large amount of energy to be broken apart.
