there are number of compounds having covalent bond and high melting point. Most common example is-diamond (Made of C)
Diamond is the hardest natural mineral on earth. That this mineral has the highest melting point of any mineral -- 3820 degrees Kelvin -- is logical. You can read more about this mineral, below.
low melting point
Yes, it has a melting point of 1683 Kelvin.
diamond has a 3 dimensional frame work of carbon and hence has high melting point
The melting point of diamond is sufficiently high that magma would not melt it.
Diamond is pure carbon with a specific crystalline structure.

high melting point
High melting point
non-metals have lower density, melting and boiling point but diamond has higher density, melting and boiling point.
Diamond is an allotrope of carbon where all the carbon atoms are tetrahedrally bonded with each other forming a three dimensional covalent network. Since the bonds are strong (covalent, network), diamond has a very high melting point and boiling point. Iodine does not have three dimensional network and hence has very low melting/ boiling point. It fact, it will sublime at room temperature.
it has a low melting point
All metals have different melting points but they are all high
