Answer the following question given this paragraph: The crystal structure of ionic compounds is strong and rigid. It takes a lot of energy to break all those ionic bonds. As a result, ionic compounds are solids with high melting and boiling points. You can see the melting and boiling points of several different ionic compounds in the Table below . To appreciate how high they are, consider that the melting and boiling points of water, which is not an ionic compound, are 0C and 100C, respectively. Q: In celsius, what is the boiling point of water? Choices: - zero degrees - two hundred twelve degrees - ninety eight degrees - one hundred degrees A:
Answer:
one hundred degrees
