It's likely but not definitive. Giant covalent substances like diamond also have high melting and boiling points. To be sure you would have to show that the melted or dissolved substance conducts electricity.

Is an ionic compound a molecular compound?
no, they are two different things. molecular compounds have a lower boiling and melting point relative to ionic.
KBr is an example of what?
Ionic compound with high melting and boiling point. This is good example of a salt.
When are ionic compounds at melting point?
ionic compound tend to have a high melting point because of their high electronegativity.
What is the melting point and boiling point of the compound selenium hexafluoride?
The melting point of SeF6 is -34,6 oC, the boiling point is - 46,6 oC.
What compound that has a high melting point?
ionic compounds
Brittleness high melting point high boiling point are all properties of ionic compuonds within a?
Brittleness high melting and boiling point are properties of ionic compounds within structures. This is taught in biology.
How does the melting point of ionic compounds compared to that of covalent compounds?
Ionic compounds generally have higher melting and boiling points.
What is the melting point of the ionic compound RaCl2?
The melting point of radium chloride is 900 0C.
Why the melting and boiling point of covalent compound are low?
Compared to ionic compounds, covalent compounds have relatively low melting and boiling points because covalent bonds are not as strong as ionic bonds, and it is the bonds which hold materials together in the solid, or more solid phases.
How is high melting and boiling points related to the structure of the compounds?
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.
Is a solid with a melting point of 800 degrees Celsius ionic or molecular?
The melting point of a compound cannot determine the bonding structure. As an example, both diamond and sodium chloride have higher melting points than 800 centigrade but are covalent and ionic compounds respectively.
How melting and boiling point are related to stability of a compound?
Thermally unstable compounds are decomposed before melting or boiling.
