A substance is a solid at room temperature, dissolves in water, and conducts electricity when dissolved in water. Which statement best describes the solid? The solid is ionic because the positive and negative ions are very attracted to each other. The solid is ionic because in water the ions are free to move around and moving ions conduct electricity. The solid is nonpolar covalent because there are not ions moving around. The solid is nonpolar covalent because they don't dissolve in water and are easy solids to identify.

Which of the following statements about the ionic bond in ammonium chloride is correct? It is formed by the transfer of electrons from metal atoms to non-metal atoms. It is the electrostatic attraction between ammonium ions and chloride ions. It is formed by the sharing of electrons between the nitrogen atom and chlorine atom. There is actually no ionic bond in ammonium chloride.
