Which of the following is not the characteristic of ionic solids?
Correct answer: A. Very low value of electrical conductivity in the molten state
- A. Very low value of electrical conductivity in the molten state
- B. Brittle nature
- C. Very strong forces of interactions
- D. Anisotropic nature
Explanation
In molten state, the ionic solids have free ions in them. Ions help in the conduction of electricity. Due to these free ions the electrical conductivity of ionic compounds in molten state is very high.

About Chemical Bonding
Chemical bonding explains molecular shape through VSEPR theory and distinguishes sigma bonds from pi bonds. Questions involve hybridization, bond angles, dipole moment and bond energy, including how electron-pair repulsion determines geometry and how bond polarity differs from the overall polarity of a molecule.
