Solution

The correct option is C Structural units have strong electrostatic force of attraction
a) Ionic solids dissociate into ions which can be solvated only by polar solvents.
b) Under electric field, these experience electrostatic force but does not show translatory motion necessarily.
c) electrostatic force exists between cations and anions
d) It is ion - ion interaction.

Q. Chemical compounds in which anions and cations are held together by electrostatic force of attraction are known as ionic compounds. Cations and anions are charged species which are formed by losing and gaining electron(s) respectively to attain the nearest noble gas configuration or stability. Usually metals lose their valence electrons to form cations while non-metals accept electrons and form anions. Being held by a strong electrostatic force of attraction between ions, ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points.
