Higher than what?
Some organic compounds (e.g. propane, butane) have very very low boiling points making them gases at room temperature.
Certain inorganic compounds (e.g. tungsten carbide) have boiling points so high that before those compounds boiled all organic compounds would not only have boiled but would have decomposed into their elements or very simple inorganic carbon compounds (e.g. carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide).

Organic compounds are also covalent compounds what properties would you expect organic compounds to have as a result?
They have a higher boiling point and lower melting point and is flamable.
What is the difference the melting point of organic and inorganic 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.
What is the difference of organic compound and inorganic compound in terms of boiling point?
In general, organic compounds are those compounds which contain carbon (with few exceptions). Inorganic compounds do not
Is the boiling point higher for compounds with a high viscosity?
Viscosity is the thickness of the compound. The thicker the compound the higher the intermolecular forces. The higher the intermolecular forces the higher the boiling point is.
How does the melting point of ionic compounds compared to that of covalent compounds?
Ionic compounds generally have higher melting and boiling points.
Why does 0.300 M KCl have a higher boiling point that 0.500 M glucose?
KCl is an ionic compound and glucose is a molecular compound. Ionic compounds have higher boiling points than molecular compounds.
How melting and boiling points are affected by intermolecular forces?
The stronger the intermolecular forces, the higher the melting point and boiling point. The weaker the intermolecular forces, the lower the melting and boiling points are.
What is the difference between organic and inorganic of melting point?
Actually the melting point depends on the molecule under consideration. But, in general inorganic compounds have higher melting point than organic compounds. However, there are many exceptions to this statement.
Molecular compounds boil at much higher temperatures than do ionic compounds true or false?
This is false. Ionic compounds have higher boiling points than molecular compounds. For example, the boiling point of the ionic compounds copper(II) oxide, CuO, and sodium chloride, NaCl are 2,000 degrees C and 1,413 degrees C, respectively. The boiling point of the molecular compounds carbon tetrachloride, CCl4, and water, H2O are 76.72 degrees C and 100 degrees C, respectively.
Does chlorine or oxygen has higher boiling point?
Chlorine has higher boiling point.
What are the properties of organic compound?
The identifying property of all organic compounds is the presence of carbon molecules. This class is made up of gasses, liquids, and solids.
Is the boiling point of covalent compounds high or low?
high boiling point low melting point
