Which of the following statements about ionic crystals is false?
Melting and boiling temperature of ionic crystals are very high
These are soluble in water and other solvent
At low temperature in sold state they are good conductor of electricity.
They have high cohesive energy
C.
At low temperature in sold state they are good conductor of electricity.
In solid state, ions are strongly attracted by one another and hence are, not free to move and thus, they do not conduct electricity in the solid state. However, ionic compounds conduct electricityin solution as well as in molten form because under these circumstances the attractive forces between the ions are cut off and ions become mobile. These free ions are able to conduct electricity.

same number of cationic and anionic vacancies
anionic vacancy and interstitial anion
cationic vacancies
cationic vacancies and interstitial cation
