Ionic compounds have a higher melting point.
Covalent compounds have a lower melting point.
Covalent solids generally have lower melting points than ionic solids. This is because covalent solids are made up of discrete molecules held together by relatively weak intermolecular forces, whereas ionic solids are made up of ions held together by strong electrostatic forces. The weaker intermolecular forces in covalent solids require less energy to overcome, resulting in a lower melting point.

No, ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points. This is due to the strength of the electrostatic attraction between the positively-charged and the negatively-charged ions.
Ionic compounds, metallic bonded substances and amorphous substances are typically solids under normal conditions. Molecular solids generally have lower melting points so the vast majority ill be gases or liquids. A significant number with large molecules will also be solids, e.g. waxes.
Molecular compounds tend to have lower melting points.
