The molecules in covalent compounds are held by weak van der Waal's forces, hence they have low melting points and boilling points as a compared to ionic compounds

Answer:
Covalently bonded molecules are formed by sharing of electron pair between two atoms. Hence they have strong bonds within the molecule but inter-molecular forces are weak. This gives rise to low melting and boiling points of these compunds
