What type of bonds would you expect in a substance that cannot conduct electricity as a solid, CAN conduct electricity when dissolved in water, and has a melting point of 2000 degrees Celsius?
What is ionic bonding-form strong network structures that don't move as solids, therefore they do not conduct, but they dissolve in water and form ions, so then they are able to conduct electricity. These strong bonds take a lot of energy to break, so they have very high melting and boiling points!
