Choose and discuss 1 observed phenomenon from a lab (either melting point or electrical conductivity) that supports a characteristic of ionic bonding that we discussed in this section.

May choose:

- Sticky tape showing oppositely charged electrostatic forces attract

- High melting point showing generally stronger bond strengths

- Conducting electricity when dissolved in water due to dissociated ions
