Both covalent-network solids and ionic solids can have melting points well in excess of room temperature, and both can be poor conductors of electricity in their pure form. However, in other ways their properties are quite different. (a) Which type of solid is more likely to dissolve in water?

Hi everyone. So here says the characteristics of Covalin Network solids. Ionic solids share some properties such as having high melting points or as which solid would conduct electricity in its molten form. Ionic solid this composed of a medal and a nonmetal as ions and it's held by ionic bonds, has low melting and it's brittle as a high melting point and boiling point in the valence electrons. These are confined so they end ions, they are not d localized there. Electrical insulators for the molten form, it's gonna form ions and become conductors. Were covalin Network solids. The atoms are bonded by co valent bonds in a single continuous network and these are hard solids have high melting points, the thermal conductors but they're not electrical conductors. So the answer is gonna be ionic solid. Thanks for watching my video and I hope it was helpful.
