Acetone and sodium chloride both have a similar mass. Explain why their other properties differ. Property Acetone Sodium Chloride Formula C3H6O NaCl Melting point â’94°C 801°C State at room temperature Liquid Solid Electrical conductivity Low High Which statements are true regarding these two compounds? Check all that apply. Acetone is a covalent compound, while sodium chloride is an ionic compound. Ionic compounds conduct electricity well in their solid (pure) form. Covalent compounds have weak attractions between molecules, resulting in low melting points.
