Camila Dorsey · Answer 2

Correct Answer: They are made up of particles that are arranged in a repeating pattern (Statement 3)

Reason:

Ionic compounds constitutes of positive and negatively charged ions. In order to minimize the energy and gain stability, these ions are arranged alternatively, in fixed repeating pattern. For instance, in case of NaCl, sodium ions and chloride ions are arranged alternatively in fixed repeating pattern.
