Three differences between an ionic compound and covalent compound are:
- An ionic compound has high boiling and melting point whereas covalent compound has low melting and boiling point.
- An ionic compound is soluble in water but is insoluble in organic solvents, whereas a covalent compounds is soluble in organic solvent but is insouble in water.
- An ionic compounds conducts electricity in the liquid state and in aqueous solution whereas a covalent compounds does not conduct electricity in any state.
