| Substance Type | Bond Type | Solid | Molten/Liquid | Aqueous |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ionic Compounds | Ionic | Bad (ions fixed in lattice) | Good (ions are mobile) | Good (ions are mobile and dissociated) |
| Metals | Metallic | Excellent (delocalized electrons) | Excellent (delocalized electrons remain mobile) | Insoluble |
| Covalent Compounds (Molecular) | Covalent | Very poor (electrons localized in bonds) | Very poor (electrons remain localized) | Generally poor (molecules don’t dissociate into ions easily) |
| Network Covalent Solids | Covalent (extended network) | Depends | Depends(if it can break down) | Insoluble |
