Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The type of bonding of a substance needs to be described experimentally.
Concept introduction:
The properties of substances depend on the type of bonding present in the molecular level.
Answer to Problem SV2RQ
Checking solubility, melting point, boiling point, conductivity, etc., the type of bonding in a substance can be found out.
Explanation of Solution
Generally, ionic compounds have higher melting and boiling points. These substances are good conductors of electricity in molten state or in aqueous solution.
But covalent compounds do not conduct electricity and they have comparatively lower melting and boiling point. Thus, the type of bonding can be found if these physical properties are known.
Type of bonding in a substance can be understood from the physical properties of the substance.
