Answer:

b. Conducts electricity when dissolved in water

Explanation:

Iron(II) chloride, is the chemical compound with formula FeCl2.

It is a solid with a high melting point of about 677 degree Celsius or 950 K when in anhydrous form but have lower melting point in hydrated form.

The compound is often off-white. FeCl2 crystallizes from water as the greenish tetrahydrate, which is the form that is most commonly encountered in the laboratory.

There is also a dihydrate. The compound is highly soluble in water, giving pale green solutions.
