Answer:

Options A and C

Explanation:

In chemistry, an ionic compound is a chemical compound composed of ions held together by electrostatic forces termed ionic bonding. The compound is neutral overall, but consists of positively charged ions called cations and negatively charged ions called anions.

Option A - This is correct because In ionic compounds, electrons are tightly held by the ions, and the ions cannot move translationally relative to each other. This explains many properties of ionic solids. They are hard and brittle.

Option B and E - This is incorrect. Due to the electrons being tightly held and the ions not being able to move translationally,  they are not malleable or ductile (i.e. cannot be shaped without cracking/breaking).

Option C - Ionic compounds have high melting points because there is a strong electrostatic force of attraction between the oppositely charged ions and hence a large amount of energy is required to break the strong bonding force between ions. This option is correct.

Option D - Ionic cmpounds have High Boiling point so this option is wrong.

For what reasons would modern scientists accept dalton's atomic theory but not the idea of an atom proposed by the greek philoso
soldi70 [24.7K]

Solution:

The idea of an atom proposed by the Greek philosophers because:

According to Greek Philosopher, matter is composed of small and indivisible particles called atoms. He introduced atoms as too small to be seen, unchangeable, completely solid without internal structure. He proposed that atoms are of variety of shapes and sizes which is responsible for different types of matter.

But according to Dalton’s atomic theory, chemical elements have atoms, which are identical in weight. The different elements have different atoms of different weight. Atoms can combine in whole-number ratios to form compounds. These observations are already introduced by Greek philosopher, but the idea of atomic weight is introduced by Dalton. He introduced the list of 21 elements with their atomic weights and, he was the first to propose the element’s symbol.
