(a) Very low value of electrical conductivity in the molten state
Explanation:
Type of solid: Ionic solids
Constituent particles: Ions
Bonding/attractive forces: Coulombic or electrostatic
Examples: NaCl, MgO, ZnS, CaF2
Physical nature: Hard but brittle
Electrical conductivity: Insulators in solid state but conductors in molten state and in aqueous solutions.
Melting point: High
