Ionic Bond
Metallically bonded compounds have high melting and boiling points due to the strength of their bonds. Metallic bonds are very strong and therefore take a lot of energy to break, which could be heat. This is why lots of heat energy is needed to break down each individual metallic bond
Ionic compounds have strong electrostatic force of attraction and hence have higher melting points than covalent compounds.
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.
Low Melting Points Low Boiling Points Strong Odors Do Not Conduct Electricity Low Melting Points Low Boiling Points Strong Odors Do Not Conduct Electricity
No, alkanes are non polar compounds and have low intermolecular attraction and low melting points.
The covalent bond is not so strong as the ionic bond.
Because they have interlocking electrons as the different elements' electrons have been 'tangled'
because they are ionic compounds and have strong electrostatic force of attaction
Electrovalent compounds have high melting and boiling points as they are held by very strong electrostatic force of attraction making the compound stable and therefore they require a lot of energy to break.
Melting a crystal implies that the lattice structure has to be broken down. Ionic compounds have strong lattices held together by electrostatic ionic bonds and generallly have high melting points.
ionic bond due to strong attractive forces
Ionic compounds are basically the combination of a metal and a non-metal. However, its high melting points and boiling points are part of the physical properties of ionic compounds, and high heat is usually required to break the bonds of ionic compounds. The ions which are held together by strong electrostatic force of attraction may results in high melting point and boiling point.
