Answer

Brittleness, Conductivity, Water Solubility, Melting Point

Explanation

1. Identify characteristics of ionic vs covalent compounds Ionic compounds: brittle, high melting point, often conduct electricity when dissolved, generally soluble in water. Covalent compounds: low melting point, poor conductivity, variable solubility. 2. Select tests detecting these differences Brittleness, conductivity, water solubility, and melting point all help distinguish between ionic and covalent bonds.
