solid. This is due to the giant structures that all ionic compounds form and these take a lot of energy to break up (and hence there high melting point)

Most of them are solid as far as my memory goes. Some of them are soluble in water but not all. When molten, they act as electrolytes, i.e. conduct electricity.

If we are not talking about solutions, they are solids.
