Determine which of the following statements is true.
A.?Ionic bonds are weak and break easily.
B.?Giant covalent structures have low melting and boiling points.
C.?Giant covalent structures are brittle and shatter when hit
D.?Larger ionic charges in a compound create stronger bonds and higher melting points.
Dear Student,
Option (D) is correct, as it is observed that when ionic charges increase, there will be a greater possibility of greater electrostatic attractions, so ionic bond will be stronger, and hence ionic bond is stronger, they will have a high melting point.
