Answer:

Salt is an ionic compound. It _____.

dissolves easily in water

has a high boiling point

has a high melting point

conducts electricity when melted

Explanation:

Salt dissolves in water because the ions are ripped apart by the dipoles of water.

Salt has a high melting point and boiling point due to the strong electrostatic forces between sodium cations and chloride anions. These forces require a lot of energy to break.

Salt conducts electricity when melted or dissolved in water because the ions are free to move around carrying a charge.
