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 compared with the melting points of ionic compounds the melting points of molecular solids tend to be?
Ionic compounds have a higher melting point.
How does melting point compare among molecular compounds and ionic compounds?
Molecular compounds tend to have lower melting points.
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.
Which solid is more likely to have the lowest melting point an ionic solid or molecular solid?
Molecular Solids have a lower melting point
How do ionic compounds and molecular compounds differ in their relative melting and bioling points?
Ionic compounds have higher melting and boiling points than molecular compounds do. The electronegativity difference in ionic compounds makes their bond much stronger.
How do you determine the type of compound ionic or molecular from the melting point such as 1240 degrees C?
If the melting point is at 1240 degrees C then it is most likely an ionic compound, because ionic compounds have their melting points above 800 degrees C while the molecular compounds have their melting point at or below room temperature.

Ionic compounds have a higher melting point.
How does melting point compare among molecular compounds and ionic compounds?
Molecular compounds tend to have lower melting points.
Are melting points of molecular substances higher than those of ionic substance?
Ionic substances have higher melting points.
Compound 1 has a melting point of 545 degrees celsius and dissolves well in water?
The high melting point points toward an ionic compound. Ionic compounds dissolve in water ie a a polar solvent. Therefore, it is probably ionic. Next you have to pick up a chemical data book and look at melting points of ionic compounds to find one that has this melting point.

Ionic bond melting point?
It depends on which two ions are bonded ionically. But normally most ionic bonds' melting points are really high - sometimes even reaching 3000 degrees Celsius or more. It is similar to those of the metals.
What has lower melting points than ionic solids?
Molecular solids
