Question

1. what type of bonding is associated with compounds that have the following characteristics: high melting point, conduct electricity in the molten state, solutions conduct electricity, normally crystalline solid at room temperature.

ionic
covalent
metallic
hydrogen

Explanation:

Ionic compounds have high melting points, conduct electricity in the molten state and in solution, and are usually crystalline solids at room - temperature. Covalent compounds generally have lower melting points and do not conduct electricity well in most cases. Metals have high melting points and conduct electricity well but the description of being a crystalline solid at room temperature in the context here is more characteristic of ionic compounds. Hydrogen bonding is an intermolecular force, not a type of bonding for these overall characteristics.

Answer:

Ionic
