Usually non-metals do not have high melting point ,
but there are some exceptions also and diamond is one them.Diamond is an allotrope of carbon.Structure of diamond is regular tetrahedron. Carbon atoms in diamond are powerfully bonded.The outermost shell of every atom becomes stable.Due to this the structure becomes very rigid which makes the Diamond one of the hardest substances.

Why is the melting point of diamond higher than sulfur?
diamond has a 3 dimensional frame work of carbon and hence has high melting point
Why is diamond a unusual non metal?
non-metals have lower density, melting and boiling point but diamond has higher density, melting and boiling point.
Why melting point of diamond is higher than that of silicon carbide?
Diamond is a covalent network solid, and those types of compounds have higher melting points than other types of compound.

What happens if boiling point is higher than melting point?
The boiling point is always higher than the melting point.
What has a higher melting point iron or granite?
Granite has a higher melting point than iron.
Which substance ionic or covalent has a higher melting point?
Generally the ionic molecules has a higher melting point.
How does IMF affect the boiling point or melting point of a substance?
The stronger the IMF, the higher the boiling point and the lower the melting point. The weaker the IMF, the lower the boiling point and the higher the melting point.
Is the melting point of Xenon higher than the melting point of Helium?
Yes
