Ionic compounds like and are generally soluble in but insoluble in solvents, such as and . They in the solid state because their ions are held in fixed positions by strong forces. To conduct electricity, ions must be , which occurs only when the ionic compounds, are dissolved in water.
Ionic compounds generally have melting and boiling points due to strong inter-ionic attractions.
