Question

The table below shows properties of two compounds at standard pressure. Which statement classifies the two compounds? 1)Both compounds are ionic, 2)Both compounds are molecular, 3) Compound 1 is ionic, and compound 2 is molecular, 4)Compound 1 is molecular, and compound is ionic

Answer 1

Answer:

3) Compound 1 is ionic, and compound 2 is molecular

Explanation:

Answer 2

Compound-1 is an ionic compound while Compound-2 is a molecular compound. Option 3 is correct.

Ionic Compound:

They are formed when an atom donates its electron to another atom. This results in one positive and one negative ion.

Hence, it is a very strong bond. These compounds have a very high melting and boiling point. They are very good electric conductors in the aqueous solution.

For example- NaCl.

Molecular compounds:

They are compounds that are made up of discrete molecular units. For example- $\bold {H_2O}$

They have very weak intermolecular bonds hence have low boiling and melting point and do not conduct electricity.

SInce Compound-1 has higher MP and BP and Compound-2 has low melting and boiling point.

Therefore, Compound-1 is an ionic compound while Compound-2 is a molecular compound.
