all of the following are characteristics of ionic bonds except
ionic compounds exhibit low melting points
ionic compounds conduct electricity when melted or dissolved in water
atoms have a large difference in electronegativity values
ionic compounds exhibit high boiling points

Explanation:

Ionic bonds have strong electrostatic forces. This gives ionic compounds high melting and boiling points, they conduct electricity when molten or in solution, and form between atoms with large electronegativity differences. Low melting - point is not a characteristic.

Answer:

A. ionic compounds exhibit low melting points
