Under which condition do ionic compounds typically conduct electricity?

When molten or dissolved in water

In both solid and gaseous states

How are ionic bonds primarily formed?

By the attraction between temporary dipoles in molecules

By the transfer of electrons from a metal to a nonmetal

By a sea of delocalized electrons surrounding metal cations

By the sharing of electrons between two nonmetals

Malleable, ductile, good conductor of electricity

Low melting point, soluble in water

Gas at room temperature, poor conductor

Hard, brittle, high melting point

High electrical conductivity in the solid state

Generally low melting and boiling points
