(a)
Interpretation:
The given statement needs to be stated true or false:
The melting points of ionic compounds are high.
Concept introduction:
Ionic compounds are formed by the electrostatic force of attraction between positive and negative charged ions. The ionic compounds are composed of ions, but the overall charge is zero. The ions are combined in such a way that a positive charge is equal to the negative charge.
(b)
Interpretation:
The given statement needs to be stated true or false:
At room temperature, ionic compounds can be solid, liquid or gas.
Concept introduction:
Ionic compounds are formed by the electrostatic force of attraction between positive and negative charged ions. The ionic compounds are composed of ions, but the overall charge is zero. The ions are combined in such a way that a positive charge is equal to the negative charge.
(c)
Interpretation:
The given statement needs to be stated true or false:
Mostly, ionic compounds are not soluble in water.
Concept introduction:
Ionic compounds are formed by the electrostatic force of attraction between positive and negative charged ions. The ionic compounds are composed of ions, but the overall charge is zero. The ions are combined in such a way that a positive charge is equal to the negative charge.
(d)
Interpretation:
The given statement needs to be stated true or false:
There are discrete pairs of sodium and chloride ions in sodium chloride ionic solid.
Concept introduction:
Ionic compounds are formed by the electrostatic force of attraction between positive and negative charged ions. The ionic compounds are composed of ions, but the overall charge is zero. The ions are combined in such a way that a positive charge is equal to the negative charge.
