The correct answer is option 4, that is, an ionic compound.  

The mentioned features belong to an ionic compound. The ionic compounds exhibit strong bonds in between their atoms, that is, an ionic bond is the strongest molecular bond, this confirms that ionic compounds exhibit a high melting point.  

The ionic compounds do not transmit current, as they do not possess free electrons, like metals, thus, they are poor conductors as solid. The ionic compounds get dissolve in water and form ions that are the charges, which can move, making them good conductors as a liquid. The composition of the ionic compound is a set of crystals that makes them brittle and hard.

Answer: gas molecules will hit the container walls more frequently and with greater force

Explanation:

According to the postulates of  kinetic molecular theory:

1. The pressure exerted by a gas in a container results from collisions between the gas molecules and the container walls.

2. The average kinetic energy of the gas molecules is proportional to the kelvin temperature of the gas.

When the temperature is increased, so the average kinetic energy and the rms speed also increase. This means that the gas molecules will hit the container walls more frequently and with greater force because they are all moving faster. This increase the pressure.
