Question

why do ionic compounds have high melting points???​

Answer 1

Mark this as brainliest

High melting points in ionic compounds is due to strong electrostatic force between them. It is very hard to separate positive and negative ions in a crystal lattice.

Answer 2

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.
