which of the following statements are true about the properties of both molecular and ionic compounds? select all that apply.

Respuesta :

They are neutrally charged

They typically do not conduct electricity in solid state

  • Molecular compounds are formed when elements share electrons in a covalent bond to form molecules.Ionic compounds are formed by the strong electrostatic interactions between the ions.Ionic compounds have high boiling and meltin point and electrical conductivity than covalent compounds.
  • Eventhough,the  molecular compounds and ionic compounds have some similarities in their properties.They both are electrically neutral.The molecules formed due to both molecular and ionic compound are electrically neutral.In ionic bonding,the two charges join and cancel each other out,and in covalent bonding,two electrically neutral components come together.So,both the compounds are electrically neutral.
  • Ionic compounds conducts electricity in aqueous or molten solution,it is because of their ions are very free to move.Ionic compounds do not conduct electricity in solid state.Molecular or covalent compounds do not conduct electricity either in pure form or when dissolved in water.Molecular compounds do not conduct electricity because they do not transfer electrons unless they reacts.
