1. Ionic compounds are formed through the transfer of electrons between a metal and a non-metal. 2. Ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points due to the strong electrostatic forces between the positively and negatively charged ions. 3. Ionic compounds are typically solid at room temperature. 4. Ionic compounds conduct electricity when dissolved in water or melted, but not in their solid state.

1. Crystalline structure: Ionic compounds form crystals with a regular arrangement of ions. 2. High melting and boiling points: The strong electrostatic forces between ions hold them together tightly, requiring a lot of energy to melt or boil the compound. 3. Solubility in water: Ionic compounds are typically soluble in water because the water molecules can solvate the ions, breaking them apart. 4. Electrical conductivity: Ionic compounds conduct electricity in the molten state or when dissolved in water, because the ions can move freely.
