Solution

The correct option is B Ionic compounds have low melting point.

Ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points. This is because of the strong force of attraction acting between the positive and negative ions.

These compounds are generally soluble in water and insoluble in solvents such as kerosene, petrol, etc.

These compounds conduct electricity in their molten state as the ions move freely and conduct electricity.
