Unknown Compound Melting Point (°C)
801
Kayla knows that compounds can be either ionic or covalent. She thinks this unknown compound must be lonic. Is she correct, and why or why not?
Yes, because the unknown compound has a high melting point caused by a weak ionic bond.
Yes, because the unknown compound has a high melting point caused by a strong ionic bond.
No, because the unknown compound has a high melting point caused by a strong covalent bond.
No, because the unknown compound has a high melting point caused by a weak covalent bond.
