Answer:
Because the strong attractive electrostatic forces holding the opposite charged ions together and a large number of ionic Bond in crystal lattice. These required a lot of thermal energy to overcome and hence have both high melting and boiling point

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.
