Question

They have higher enthalpies of fusion and vaporization than molecular compounds.

  1. True
  2. False

hintHint:

Ionic compounds have high lattice energy.

The correct answer is 'True'.


    • Ionic compounds are hard and brittle.
    • Ionic compounds are solid at room temperature.
    • Ionic compounds have high melting and boiling point.
    • Ionic compounds have high lattice energy, and enthalpies of fusion and vaporization are much higher than molecular compounds.
    • Ionic compounds conduct electricity when dissolved in water.
