Which of the following is not a characteristic of ionic solids

a. Very low value of electrical conductivity in the molten state

b. Brittle nature

c. Very strong forces of interactions

d. Anisotropic nature

Ans. a

Explanation : Ionic solids easily dissociated into its ions in molten state and show high electrical conductivity. While ionic solids are anisotropic and brittle linked with very strong force of interactions.
