Question

Which of the following is/are property/properties of coordinate compounds?

• A. They are good conductors of electricity.
• B. They dissolve in organic solvents.
• C. They have high melting point than pure covalent compounds.
• D. They are non-polar in nature.

Answer 1

Answer: (B), (C)

The correct options are
B They dissolve in organic solvents.
C They have high melting point than pure covalent compounds.

Properties of coordinate compounds are as follows:
- They do not give individual ions in water and are poor conductors of electricity.
- They are sparingly soluble in water and dissolve in organic solvents.
- They possess melting and boiling points higher than those of purely covalent compounds, but lower than that of ionic compounds.
- They are semi-polar in nature.
