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. Ionic compounds form crystals. These compounds are brittle and break into small pieces easily.
