Which of the following is not the characteristic of ionic solids?

(i) A very low value of electrical conductivity in the molten state.

(ii) Brittle nature.

(iii) Very strong forces of interactions.

(iv) Anisotropic nature.

Answers (1)

The answer is the option (i) A very low value of electrical conductivity in the molten state. Ionic solids are hard but brittle in appearance. They have high melting point and act as insulators in solid state but conductors in molten state or aqueous solutions. They have very strong forces of attraction. Hence, option A is incorrect.
