Ionic compounds are normally in which physical state at room temperature in solid. The answer is A.

Ionic Compounds Are Balanced. Table salt is an example of an ionic compound. Sodium and chlorineions come together to form sodium chloride, or NaCl. The sodium atom in this compound loses an electron to become Na+, while the chlorine atom gains an electron to become Cl-.

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Ionic compounds have atoms bonded through ionic bonds.

An ionic bond is formed when there is transfer of electrons from one atom to another. Also, ionic compounds have opposite charge on their atoms hence, they are attracted by strong intermolecular forces.

Thus, compound whose atoms are holded by strong intermolecular forces of attraction are solid.

Therefore, we can conclude that ionic compounds are normally in solid physical state at room temperature.

Answer:

(a) Barium is produced at the negative electrode

(b) Iodine is produced at the positive electrode

Explanation:

When an electric current is passed through a solution containing electrolyte, a non spontaneous reaction is stimulated. This results in the flow of positively charged ions to negatively charged electrodes(cathode) and negatively charged ions to positively charged electrodes(anode)

When an electric current is passed through molten $BaI_{2}$ in the electrolytic cell, the following reactions takes place:
