Which of the following statements is correct?

The correct statement is "Ionic compounds in solution would conduct electricity." Explanation: 1. Covalent compounds are formed when two or more non-metal atoms share electrons to form a molecule. They do not readily ionize in solution because they do not contain ions. 2. Covalent compounds consist of molecules made up of atoms bonded together by sharing electrons. These molecules do not contain ions. 3. A hydrogen bond is a type of intermolecular force that occurs between a hydrogen atom and an electronegative atom (usually oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine) in a different molecule. It is not formed between a metal and a non-metal. 4. Ionic compounds are made up of a metal and a non-metal. When an ionic compound dissolves in water, it dissociates into ions, which can carry an electric charge and conduct electricity. Covalent compounds do not dissociate into ions in solution and do not conduct electricity.
