Answer:

It is due to strong electrostatics force between them. it is hard to separate positive and negative ions in a crystal lattice.

Ionic compounds are held together by electrostatic forces between the oppositely charged ions. These forces are usually referred to as ionic bonding. 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.
