Distinguish between metals, ionic compounds, and covalent compounds using information about the physical properties of a compound.

Metal Compounds:

Metal compounds have very High melting and boiling points They are good Conductors of heat and electricity They can be converted into different shapes without any breakage.They are ductile and magnetic.

Ionic compounds

Ionic compounds exist in a crystalline structure that is stable. Hence, they higher melting and boiling points than covalent compounds.They don't conduct electricity when they are as ionic compounds. But, when they are dissolved in water the solution becomes conductor of electricity.These compounds exist as solids only.These compounds are Non magnetic.

Covalent compounds

They have lower belting and boiling points when compared to ionic bonds.Covalent compounds are non conductor of electricity.They can take any form like liquid, solid or gas. They are  Non magnetic.

Idon’t know what the answer is i wish i could
