Why do ionic compounds have high melting points and high boiling points?
Ionic compounds are basically the combination of a metal and a non-metal. However, its high melting points and boiling points are part of the physical properties of ionic compounds, and high heat is usually required to break the bonds of ionic compounds. A compound with a high melting point tends to have a high boiling point. E.g melting point 270, boiling point 1000. See?
