why do ionic compounds have high melting point.

melting point depends on the energy required by the system to break the strong ionic bonds and convert it into a liquid.
Usually ionic bonds are electrostatic bonds requiring large amounts of energy and hence they have high melting point.
Hope you will be able to understand.

Answer:
Ionic compounds have high melting point because in ionic compound cations and ions are held together by strong electrostatic forces of attraction.
Hence large amount of energy is required to overcome these forces.
