Asolid sample of a compound and a liquid sample of the same compound are each tested for electrical conductivity. which test conclusion indicates that the compound is ionic?

(2)  Both the solid and the liquid are poor conductors.

(3)  The solid is a good conductor, and the liquid is a poor conductor.

(4)  The solid is a poor conductor, and the liquid is a good conductor. 

 Then the answer is number 4. This is because ionic compound conducts electricity when it is dissolved in water.

vanderwaal's forces of attraction are the electrostatic intermolecular forces that exist in a molecule due to the temporary or permanent dipoles that are developed in a molecule. in , the major intermolecular forces are dipole-dipole interactions as the molecule is polar (bent structure). so the vanderwaal's forces of interaction in between molecules are the permanent dipole-dipole interactions that develop due to the dipole that exists in between the polar h - s bond. the positively charged hydrogen atom is attracted towards the negative end of the dipole that is sulfur of the adjacent molecule. therefore, these forces of attraction are relatively stronger than that of london dispersion forces that exist in non polar molecules.
