Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Ionic salts are defined as the salts which tend to contain ionic bonds as there occurs transfer of electrons between its combining atoms.

So, when an ionic salt melts or it is dissolved in water then it will dissociate into its respective ions and as electricity is the flow of electrons or ions. Hence, this salt is then able to conduct electricity.

As covalent compounds are insoluble in water so, they do no dissociate into ions. Hence, they do not conduct electricity.

Similarly, metallic and network solids do not dissociate into ions either when melted or dissolved in water. Therefore, they also do not conduct electricity.

Thus, we can conclude that when a white crystalline salt conducts electricity when it is melted and when it dissolves in water then this bond is of ionic type.

Consider molecular, complete ionic, and net ionic equations.
8090 [49]

Explanation:

(a) The molecular equations shows the equation in which all the species of the reactants and the products are in molecules and the net charge is zero.

The complete ionic equations shows the equation in which all the species of the reactants and the products are in dissociated form and are represented as ions.

The net ionic equations shows the equation in which all the species of the reactants and the products are in dissociated form and do not show the spectator ions which are same in the reactants and the products.

(b) If there is no spectator ions in the reaction, then the complete and the net ionic equations would be identical.
