Question

Ionic compounds are usually ___________ at room temperature, proving the force that holds them together is ___________. 
A:solids, relatively strong  
B:liquids, fairly strong 
 C:gases, relatively weak

.sam. · Answer

Ionic compounds have strong electrostatic bonds between particles. As a result, they generally have very high melting and boiling points. 

Ionic compounds are solids at room temperature and usually form crystals, they have high melting points, and are soluble in water.

@chmvijay UR MEAN THE REASON Y IM ASKING ITS BECOUSE I DONT GET IT IF UR GANNA BE MEAN ISTEAD OF ACCUALLY HELPING ME THEN DONT BOTHER AT ALL -.-

anonymous · Answer

I GUESS I WAS WRONG TO THINK U WERE ACCUALLY GANNA HELP....

@.Sam. CAN U MAYBE GIVE ME A BETTER EXPLANATION? PLEASE

chmvijay · Answer

yaaa its A  ionic compounds are solids ar room temperature and are having stronger bonds :)

.sam. · Answer

-Strong electrostatic bonds holds the compound together
-They are solids at room temperature because of high melting point and boiling points.
