Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The one compound that is likely to have completely ionic bonds in its solid state from the given options is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Chemical compounds contain two types of bonds. These are known as ionic and covalent bonds. In ionic bonds, the ions are held by the electrostatic interaction between them. In covalent bonds, the atoms are held together by the sharing of electrons.
