Generally the ionic' compounds have high melting points.
Give reason

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(1) The ionic compounds exist in solid state and are hard due to strong electrostatic force of attraction between oppositely charged ions.
(2) The inter molecular force of attraction is high in ionic compounds and large energy is required to overcome it. Therefore, ionic compounds have high melting points.
