They have low melting points and high reactivity.
Melting points increase with atomic weight for elemental halogens (the second-most right column in a periodic table). The heavier the atom, the harder to turn it into a liquid. The lightest halogens, such as Florine (F) and Chlorine (Cl) are gasses at room temperature, having "melted" and "boiled" at lower (colder) temperatures. The two heaviest halogens are Iodine (I) and Astatine (At). Astatine is very rare, but Iodine is common and is a solid at room temperature. The have the highest melting points of halogens. Remember, F down to At increase in melting points. F and Cl are gases, so they have low melting point. Br is a liquid, so it has a higher melting point. I and At are solids so it takes more heat to melt them.
In general, ionic compounds have high melting points due to the strong electrostatic forces holding the ions together in a lattice structure. This results in a significant amount of energy required to break these bonds, leading to high melting points.
Simple molecular substances typically have low melting and boiling points. This is because the weak intermolecular forces, such as London dispersion forces, in simple molecular substances are easily overcome compared to the stronger bonds in ionic or metallic substances.
No. They have very high melting points because they are extremely strong. This is because of the transfer of electrons between the atoms in the bond. Molecular generally have low melting points.
Ionic solids typically have high melting points due to the strong electrostatic forces binding the positive and negative ions together in a lattice structure. When heated, these bonds must be overcome, requiring a significant amount of energy, resulting in high melting points.
No, they have very low melting.
That depends on the solid: ice has a very low melting point, lard and butter have low melting points, chocolate has a relatively low melting point, wax has an intermediate melting point, lead has a high melting point, iron has a very high melting point, tungsten has an extremely high melting point.
All metals have different melting points but they are all high

It varies. Boron and thallium both have relatively high melting points while gallium and indium have very low melting points.

No. Group 1 metals (commonly called the alkali metals) have low melting points.

Simple molecular substances typically have low melting and boiling points. This is because the weak intermolecular forces, such as London dispersion forces, in simple molecular substances are easily overcome compared to the stronger bonds in ionic or metallic substances.
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.
Noble gases generally have low melting points compared to most other elements. For example, helium, neon, and argon have very low melting points, often found in the negative degrees Celsius range. The increasing atomic size of heavier noble gases like krypton and xenon does lead to higher melting points, but they still remain relatively low compared to metals and many nonmetals. Overall, noble gases are characterized by their inertness and low melting and boiling points.
Yes non metals do have high melting and boiling points. This is because they have strong intemolecular forces that are hard to overcome.A2. Their melting points vary. Obviously gases such as nitrogen and oxygen have low melting points, but Silicon (1414oC) and Diamond ( around 1700oC) are rather high. Phosphorous and Sulfur on the other hand are rather low.
