(a)
Interpretation:
The given statement needs to be stated true or false:
The boiling point of ionic compounds is 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:
There is a random arrangement of ions in the crystal lattice and the overall charge is zero.
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:
The solution conducts electricity when ionic compounds are dissolved 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:
The ions with the same charges are close to each other in an ionic crystal.
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.
