Explain what lattice energy is and how it affects the properties of ionic compounds. Describe the
general properties of ionic compounds.

Explanation:

Lattice energy is a way to measure the bond strength in ionic compounds. Ionic compounds tend to have high melting and boiling points. Ionic compounds tend to be hard. Ionic compounds have a range of solubilities.

the correct answer is b. a strong acid completely dissociates to its ions when dissolved in water. completely dissociates to and ions. a is incorrect because does not fully ionize to and ions and some remain as the compound . c and d are incorrect because, and do not fall into the category of bronsted lowry acids. a bronsted lowry acid is a proton donor and since both molecules do not have a proton to donate they are not bronsted lowry acids. likewise,   if we use the lewis acid definition, they cannot be acids. a lewis acid is an electron pair acceptor. both and have a complete octet so can not accept any electrons which disqualifies them as acids.
