Potassium chloride is an ionic compound. The bond holding the atoms together is known as ionic bond. Strictly speaking it is NOT a discrete molecule of K + Cl- but a crystal lattice consisting of each K+ surrounded by Cl- ions and vice versa. The bonds in this lattice all have to be broken to melt the compound.
There is a strong electrostatic force of attraction between the chloride ions and the potassium ions. A large amount of heat energy has to be applied to break the strong bond holding the atoms, resulting in the compound having a high melting point.
the boiling point of Potassium is 63.35 Celsius
no, lithium has a higher melting point than potassium
high (772 degrees Fahrenheit)
yes

Iodine, at p=p0,Boiling point 457.4 K,  184.3 °C(So I don't know if you'd call this high or low? compared with what?)However the difference with melting point of Iodine (386.85 K,  113.7 °C) is remarkably small (< 71oC) and the solid is quite vaporous far below its boiling point (Triple point 386.65K (113.5oC), 12.07 kPa, just below melting point).
Because it is a non metal and does not conduct electricity
High melting point
pottassium is a drug that makes high which is fun its like Viagra
The melting teperature is relatively high
The melting point of potassium chloride is 790 °C.

No , table salt (sodium chloride) has a melting point of 801°C
The melting point of sodium chloride is 801 0C.
NaCl (sodium chloride)
The melting point of sodium chloride ( NaCl ) is 801 °C, 1074 K, 1474 °F.
Sodium chloride is a ionic compound. Generally they have high melting points.
because it has high melting/dissolving point.
No, it is an ionic salt like sodium chloride, having very high melting and boiling points.
Sublimation - on gentle heating ammonium chloride will sublime. Sodium Chloride does not and has a high melting point.
Table Salt (Sodium Chloride or NaCl) melts at a temperature of 801° C (1474° F) and is able to conduct electricity in its "molten" state.
