(a)
Interpretation:
The statement “Ionic compounds have high melting points” has to be labeled as true or false. If the statement is false, the correct explanation has to be given.
(b)
Interpretation:
The statement “Ionic compounds can be solid, liquid or gas at room temperature” has to be labeled as true or false. If the statement is false, the correct explanation has to be given.
(c)
Interpretation:
The statement “Most ionic compounds are insoluble in water” has to be labeled as true or false. If the statement is false, the correct explanation has to be given.
(d)
Interpretation:
The statement “An ionic solid like sodium chloride consists of discrete pairs of sodium cations and chloride anions” has to be labeled as true or false. If the statement is false, the correct explanation has to be given.
