उत्तर
Ionic compounds, made up of ions, are generally crystalline solids with high melting and boiling points.
They are soluble in water and good conductors of electricity in aqueous solution and molten state.
Covalent compounds, made up of molecules, can exist as soft solids or liquids or gases with low melting and boiling points. They are generally insoluble in water and poor conductors of electricity.
