Question
which choices are physical properties describing an ionic compound? (select all that apply.) maleable and ductile high melting and boiling points crystal structure hard and brittle
Brief Explanations
Ionic compounds have strong electrostatic forces between ions. This leads to high melting and boiling points, a regular crystal - lattice structure, and they are hard and brittle. Malleability and ductility are properties of metals, not ionic compounds.
