Ionic bonds are very strong so the melting point of an ionic compound is high. Ionic compounds do not conduct electricity in the solid state because their ions are unable to move about.

TULELA: The next episode is more on ionic compounds, looking at their structure and properties. SUNAYANA: And don’t worry as I’ll be here too - don’t want to break that bond now do we ...

A little water helps expose the sodium so it can react with the chlorine gas. The reaction releases a lot of heat as the ionic compound sodium chloride is formed. A sodium and chlorine atom are near ...
