Answer:

SiCl4 is a covalent compound, and so in solid SiCl4 , the molecules are held together by weak intermolecular forces. ... As a result, ionic compounds have high melting points. Intermolecular forces are weak, however, requiring less energy to break than ionic bonds, so covalent compounds have low melting points.
