Question

Why ionic compounds have higher melting and boiling points?

Answer 1

hii mate...

This is because of the strong attractive electrostatic forces holding the oppositely charged ions together and a large number of ionic bonds in the crystal lattice. These require a lot of thermal energy to overcome and hence have both high melting and boiling points.

hope this helped u ..!

Answer 2

Answer:

yes it is true that ionic compounds have high melting and boiling point.

Explanation:

ionic compounds have high melting and boiling point because they are bind together with electrostatic force ( cation and anion) if you can't understand this then you know that unlike charges attract each, Like Na+ and Cl-
