<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
D. All the above
- Covalent compounds are always poor conductors of electricity while ionic compounds conduct electricity well when melted or dissolved.
- Covalent compounds can be solid, liquid or gas, but ionic compounds are solids.
- In covalent compounds the elements present are usually close together on the periodic table whereas in ionic compounds they are usually well separated.
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
- <u>Ionic compounds are compounds that are formed from strong electrostatic interactions between ions.</u> Ionic bonding occurs between a nonmetal, which acts as an electron acceptor, and a metal, which acts as an electron donor. The atoms involved in ionic bonding lose or gain electrons and form positively or negatively charged ions.
- <em><u>Ionic compound are good conductors of electricity both in molten and aqueous form,. while covalent compound are poor conductors of electricity.</u></em>
- <u>Covalent compounds on the other hand are compounds that have bonds where electrons are shared between atoms.</u> These types bonds mostly occur between nonmetals or between two atoms of the same element.
The pressure will increase with decreasing volume. if they remain constant, that is.
