Solution

The correct option is D Very low value of electrical conductivity in the molten state
In molten state, the ionic solids have free ions in them. Ions help in the conduction of electricity. Due to these free ions the electrical conductivity of ionic compounds in molten state is very high.
So, option A is not correct regarding the characteristics of ionic compounds.
So, option A is correct answer.
