Aluminium oxide, because it has a very strong giant covalent structure that takes a lot of energy to break.

Why aluminum Fluoride is more ionic than aluminum Chloride?
Cl has large anion size its polarizibility is higher than fsa it forms covalent compds
Who has higher melting points ionic compounds or covalent compounds?
Ionic compounds have higher melting points than covalent compounds. Common table salt, sodium chloride, is an ionic compound and has a melting point of 801 oC. Table sugar, sucrose, a covalent compound, has a melting point of about 186 oC.
Why does calcium oxide have a higher melting point than sodium chloride?
CaO - the attraction between a 2+ and a 2- ion is much stronger than between a + and a -.
Which has a higher melting point Neon or Argon?
Argon has the higher melting point.
Which would you expect to have a higher melting point sodium chloride NaCI or aluminum oxide AI203?
The melting point of sodium chloride is 801 0C. The melting point of aluminium oxide is 2 072 0C.
What has the higher melting point sodium chloride or aluminum oxide?
aluminum oxide : Al2O3
Does sodium chloride or phosphorus trichloride have a higher melting point?
The melting point of sodium chloride is 801 0C. The melting point of phosphorus trichloride is -93,6 0C.
Which has a higher melting point Sodium Chloride or Ethyl Alcohol?
Sodium Chloride has a higher melting point because at room temperature it is a solid but Ethyl alcohol has already melted, as it is liquid.

Does salt have a higher or lower melting point than Na or Cl?
Common table salt (sodium chloride) has a much higher melting point than either sodium or chlorine.
How does forming a bond between sodium and Chloride affect the melting point of sodium chloride?
The ionic bonding in sodium chloride is much stronger than the internal bonding in either element that forms sodium chloride; therefore, the melting point of the salt is much higher than that of either element that forms the salt.
Why aluminum Fluoride is more ionic than aluminum Chloride?
Cl has large anion size its polarizibility is higher than fsa it forms covalent compds
Why is the melting point of sodium chloride is much higher than that of aluminium tetrachloride?
Sodium chloride is an ionic compound whereas AlCl3 is a covalent compound. Ionic compounds have greater melting point due to stronger electrostatic force of attraction.
Why does aluminum have a higher melting point than Sodium?
Metallic bonding is between metal ions in a sea of delocalised electrons. In Aluminum, there are more delocalised electrons and the ions have a higher charge than Sodium. There is a greater force of attraction between the electrons of aluminum because the protons that are pulling on a 3+ ion are stronger than a 1+ ion. Since it requires more force to overcome these forces of attraction, Aluminum has the higher melting point. - Troy Moss

Why does aluminum have a higher melting temperature than sodium?
This is a difficult question to answer- one factor is that sodium has only one valence electron and aluminum has three so the bonding is stronger.
