Advertisements
उत्तर
Ionic compound:
- They usually have high melting points and boiling points.
- They are soluble in water. (NaCl)
- They often conduct electricity in a molten state.
- They are usually crystalline solids.
Polar covalent compound:
- Atoms do not have an equal distribution of shared electron pairs.
- They ionise in water.
- They are not electrically neutral.
- Bond is formed between dissimilar atoms such as H2O, NH3, HCl.
