Answer:
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.

ionic compounds have strong molecular forces of attraction as negative and positive ions are held together , so to break the forces of attraction and have to melt that ionic compond then it should have high melting point.
