Interpretation: The difference in the properties of the ionic compounds and the molecular compounds is to be stated.
Concept introduction: Ionic compounds are the type of compounds that are present between two opposite charges that is one with positive charge and the other having negative charge and the forces between these compounds are very strong that is they are held by electrostatic forces. On the other hand, Molecular compounds are the type of compounds that share electrons with other elements through the help of covalent bonds.
To determine: The difference in the properties of the ionic compounds and the molecular compounds.
