===Bulk Properties===
: In their [[solid]] [[State of Matter|state]] '''ionic compounds''' are poor [[Electrical Conductor|electrical conductors]] because the [[ion]]s are not free to move.
: In their [[liquid]] [[State of Matter|state]] '''ionic compounds''' are good [[Electrical Conductor|electrical conductors]] because the [[Charge|electrically charged]] [[ion]]s are free to move.
: Most '''ionic compounds''' are [[soluble]] in [[water]].
: When [[dissolve]]d in [[solution]] '''ionic compounds''' are good [[Electrical Conductor|electrical conductors]] because the [[Charge|electrically charged]] [[ion]]s are free to move.
: '''Ionic compounds''' form [[Giant Ionic Structure|giant ionic structures]] which have high [[Melting Point|melting points]] due to the strong [[Electrostatic Force|electrostatic force]] between the [[ion]]s.
