if a substance is ionic, then it likely will
done
Ionic substances are formed by charged ions held together by strong ionic bonds. A key characteristic is their ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water (forming an electrolyte solution) or melted, as their ions become free to move. They also typically have high melting/boiling points and are brittle, but the most common and definitive property taught in basic chemistry for this context is conductivity in aqueous or molten states.
