Give reasons- (i) Ionic compounds are soluble in water while covalent compounds are mostly insoluble in water. (ii) Ionic compounds have higher melting points than the covalent compounds. |
|
Answer» (i) Since, ionic compounds are polar in nature, so, these compounds are soluble in water but covalent compounds are generally non-polar, so these are insoluble in water. (ii) Since, ionic compounds possess strong electrostatic forces of attraction, so melting points of ionic compounds are higher than covalent compounds. |
