Question

apply knowledge of ionic bonds to anato
the concentration of ionic substances is important
for the heart to beat. your heart responds to
electrical impulses that travel through heart cells
that are made up mostly of water. which properties
of ionic compounds are important to support this
function?
☐ solubility in water
☐ conductivity
☐ crystalline
☐ melting point

Explanation:

The heart's electrical impulses rely on ionic substances in water-rich heart cells. Ionic compounds must dissolve in water to release ions, and these dissolved ions enable electrical conductivity, which is critical for transmitting the impulses that regulate heartbeats. Crystalline structure and melting point are irrelevant to this physiological function.

Answer:

• Solubility in water
• Conductivity
