JEE Main Chemistry question

Which of the following is not correct regarding the properties of ionic compounds?

(A)Ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points
(B)Their reaction velocity in aqueous medium is very high
(C)Ionic compounds in their molten and aqueous solutions do not conduct electricityCorrect
(D)They are highly soluble in polar solvents

Answer: (C)

Solution

Ionic compounds are made of oppositely charged ions held by strong electrostatic forces, giving high melting/boiling points, fast ionic reactions in solution, and good solubility in polar solvents (like water).
