Organic compounds generally are long hydrocarbon chains which are only attracted to each other by Van der Waals bonds which are the weakest intermolecular bonds. Since the bonds between molecules are weaker, they tend to melt much more quickly then stronger intermolecular bonded molecules.
This statement is generally true because organic compounds are molecular and the intermilecular forces are weak and therefore are readily pulled apart. This contarasts with the stronger bonds present in giant molecules such as SiO2 (covalent), in ionic compounds (electrostatic forces) and in metals where there are metallic bonds.
No, the organic compounds have low melting and boiling points ascompare to inorganic compounds.
Inorganic compounds have high melting points because of the ionic bonds they form. Compare this to an organic substance, made up of covalent bonds thus causing a low melting point.
Ionic compounds have higher melting and boiling points than molecular compounds do. The electronegativity difference in ionic compounds makes their bond much stronger.
The melting points of organic compounds will vary and are related to the boiling points. Organic compounds that have strong cohesive forces will generally have higher melting points.
These are organic compounds.
The organic compounds readily burn in air. They have high boiling points and low melting points.
Molecular compounds tend to have the lowest melting points.

Due to the different density of objects there will be a variety of melting points
The organic compounds readily burn in air. They have high boiling points and low melting points.
Many organic compounds have low melting points and low boiling points. As a result, they are liquids or gases at room temperature.
Molecular compounds tend to have the lowest melting points.
Candles contain organic compounds with low melting points.
Some characteristics of organic compounds are that many are gases or solids that have low melting points and they do not conduct electricity. Some characteristics of inorganic compounds are almost all are insoluble inorganic solvents, they do form ions that can conduct electricity, and most have high melting points.
two different pure organic compounds may have same melting points because may be they share their nature of chemical bonds.
Compounds bonded by covalent bonds do not necessarily have low melting points. Some have whereas some don't have.Some polymers and hydrocarbons have very high melting points. But it can be said that they don't have melting points as high as ionic compounds. It is so because ionic bonds are stronger than the covalent bonds.
Ionic compounds have a higher melting point.
