Solution

The correct option is A

Polar in Nature


Explanation:

Electrovalent or Ionic Compounds: Electrovalent compounds are those compounds that are formed by the complete transfer of electrons.

  • Electrovalent compounds are more soluble in polar solvents like water.
  • An electrovalent bond is formed when a metal atom transfers one or more electrons to a non-metal atom.
  • Electrovalent compounds are good conductors of electricity in their aqueous solutions due to the presence of ions.

Hence, option (A) is correct.
