Interpretation: If the given compound with
Concept Introduction: Ionic bonds are formed by the complete transfer of electron/s from a more electronegative atom to a less electronegative atom. The interaction between positive and negative charge is strong thus, ionic bonds are strong.
Explanation of Solution
Ionic compounds are formed an atom with low electronegativity donates its electron/s to an atom with high electronegativity. This complete transfer of electron/s results in the formation of an ionic bond. Molecular compounds are formed when two atoms share electron pair/s to form covalent bonds. The given compound has a melting point of
