Answer:
Ionic compounds are held together by electrostatic forces between the oppositely charged ions .As the ionic lattice contains such a large number of ions, a lot of energy is needed to overcome this ionic bonding so ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points.

❤Hey!❤
Ionic compounds have high melting points. This is because a considerable amount of energy is required to break the strong inter-ionic attractions between the ions.
