Melting an ionic solid involves freeing the ions from their positions in the ionic crystal and separating them. Since the ions are held together by electrostatic attractions, the amount of energy required is and ionic solids therefore have relatively melting points.

yes, water is wet, just as it makes other things wet, it is wet itself, kinda like ice, when ice is in water, the ice makes water cold, and ice is cold, therefore with that example, water is wet

it forms an anion that has a larger radius. anions have a negative charge and are larger than the original atom.
