when ionic compounds are dissolved they
can conduct electricity
form new compounds
become malleable and ductile
rewatch submit
Ionic compounds dissociate into ions when dissolved. These ions can move freely and carry an electric charge, enabling the solution to conduct electricity. Malleability and ductility are properties of metals, not ionic compounds in solution. Dissolving ionic compounds is a physical process (usually) and doesn't form new compounds (unless there is a chemical reaction, but the general property associated with dissolution of ionic compounds is conductivity due to ion dissociation).
