How do ionic bonds affect the properties of ionic compounds?
A) The bonds weakly hold ions together, increasing the melting point.
B) The bonds strongly hold ions together, reducing the boiling point.
C) The bonds prevent ions from moving throughout the crystal, so a solid ionic compound is a poor conductor.
D) The bonds prevent electrons from moving throughout the crystal, so a solid ionic compound is a poor conductor.

C) The bonds prevent ions from moving throughout the crystal, so a solid ionic compound is a poor conductor is your answer, however, technically speaking the bonds prevent electrons from moving, since the ions are locked in place and don't want their electrons to go.

C is the answer my teacher taught us that
