а. The strong electrostatic attractions between cations and anions are responsible for the fact that most ionic compounds are solids at room temperature with high melting and high boiling points. However, ionic liquid is a salt that is a liquid at room temperature. Explain the phenomenon and provide a relevant application of the ionic liquids that would benefit us.
