Your Solution:
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. So, That's why ionic compounds have high melting points.

Answer:
ionic compounds
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.
