As a generalization, yes.
1)brittleness 2)high melting points 3)high boiling points
Ionic compounds tend to have very high boiling points. For example, table salt, sodium chloride (NaCl), has a boiling point of 1413 oC.

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.
The structure of a compound will dictate what intermolecular forces hold the molecules together. The stronger these forces, the higher will be the boiling point.
Because they have interlocking electrons as the different elements' electrons have been 'tangled'
This is because of the strong force of attraction between the positively and negatively charged ions in the ionic lattice
The boiling points of ionic solids tend to be very high.
1.Brittleness 2.High Melting Points 3.High Boiling Points
its simple. ionic compounds have strong electrovalent bonds which need more heat to be broken down. hence more heat is needed to convert the solid into its other state. therefore high melting and boiling point.
Ionic compounds generally have higher melting and boiling points.
No, ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points. This is due to the strength of the electrostatic attraction between the positively-charged and the negatively-charged ions.
