Individual ions within a salt usually have multiple near neighbours, so they are not considered to be part of molecules, but instead part of a continuous three-dimensional network. Salts usually form [[Crystal structure|crystalline structure]]s when solid.
Salts composed of small ions typically have high [[Melting point|melting]] and [[boiling point]]s, and are [[Hardness|hard]] and [[Brittleness|brittle]]. As solids they are almost always [[insulator (electricity)|electrically insulating]], but when [[melting|melted]] or [[Dissolution (chemistry)|dissolved]] they become highly [[electrical resistivity and conductivity|conductive]], because the ions become mobile. Some salts have large cations, large anions, or both. In terms of their properties, such species often are more similar to organic compounds. Daddy harder please y
