Answer:
Ionic Compounds have high boiling and melting points as they're very strong and require a lot of energy to break. The electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions lead to the formation of ions. These compounds are brittle and break into small pieces easily.

Properties Shared by Ionic Compounds
They form crystals.
They have high melting points and high boiling points.
They have higher enthalpies of fusion and vaporization than molecular compounds.
They're hard and brittle.

Answer:
Your answer is:
- Ionic compounds have high melting and boiling point.
- Ionic compounds conduct electricity in molten and solvent state.
- Ionic compounds are solid, hard and crystalline in nature.
- Ionic compounds are brittle .
- The intermolecular forces of attraction are high because of attraction of negative and positive ions, therefore it requires a large amount of energy to break them .Thus, they have very high boiling point
