Question

Why do ionic compounds have high melting points?​

Answer 1

Answer:

basically ionic compounds are those compounds which are made up from the sharing of one or two electrons , therefore in the ionic compounds are made from the strong electrostatic force of attraction , hence the large amount of energy is required to break the bonds between them , therefore they have high melting point

Answer 2

Answer:

Ionic compounds have regular structures, called giant ionic lattices. In a giant ionic lattice, there are strong electrostatic forces of attraction acting in all directions between the oppositely charged ions. The structure and bonding of ionic compounds explain their propertie
