Answer:
Ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points because there is a strong electrostatic force of attraction between the oppositely charged ions and hence a large amount of energy is required to break the strong bonding force between ions.
hope it helps :)

Explanation:
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.
