(eneral properties for ionic compoundsQ
(i) Physical nature. ?onic compounds are solids and are somewhat hard because of the stron*
force of attraction between the positive and ne*ative ions. These compounds are *enerally
brittle and brea! into pieces when pressure is applied.
(ii) Melting and Boiling points. ?onic compounds have hi*h meltin* and boilin* points. This is
because a considerable amount of ener*y is required to brea! the stron* interCionic
attraction.
(iii) Solubility. "lectrovalent compounds are *enerally soluble in water and insoluble in solvents
such as !erosene, petrol, etc.

+*3 Aouble circulation refers to the flow of blood twice
throu*h the heart, durin* each cycle of transport
throu*h the body.
(i) ,ystemic circulation (ii) :ulmonary circulation
The deoy*enated blood is brou*ht to the ri*ht atrium
of the heart, by inferior vena cava and superior vena
cava. Grom here, the blood moves into the ri*ht
ventricle, this pumps it the lun*s throu*h pulmonary
artery. The oy*enated blood is brou*ht to the left
atrium by pulmonary veins. Grom here, the blood moves into the left ventricle, this pumps it to all
parts of the body throu*h aorta. Aouble circulation is necessary because the oy*enated blood
from lun*s comes to the heart and deoy*enated blood from heart *oes bac! to the lun*s for
purifyin*, i.e. for removin* 7O' from the blood.
