Which two properties are characteristic of iconic compounds? brittleness ductility high melting point low boiling point malleability

Some characteristics of Ionic compounds by Mimiwhatsup: brittle, high melting point, conducts electricity when molten or dissolved in water.

Answer : The correct options are, brittleness and high melting point

Explanation :

Ionic compound : Ionic compounds are the compounds which are formed when a metal cation bonded with non-metal anion. The metal cation and non-metal anion bonded with an electrostatic force of attraction.

The properties of ionic compounds are :

Ionic compounds are brittle and hard. They breaks easily into small pieces.

They have high melting point and boiling point.

They conduct electricity in liquid state not in solid state.

Hence, the brittleness and high melting point properties are the characteristic of ionic compounds.

answer: e.   sour taste

explanation: acids are those substances which dissociates in water to give ions. as they dissociate to give ions, they act as electrolytes and thus are electrically conductive. acids are sour in taste. example: hcl

bases are those substances which dissociates in water to give ions or accepts ions. as they dissociate to give ions, they act as electrolytes and thus are electrically conductive. bases are bitter in taste. bases are slippery in nature.
