Best Answer

because they are formed with ionic bonding eg NaCl - sodium chloride(a salt) when sodium burns in chlorine, positive sodium ions and negative chlorine ions are formed. the positives attract to the negatives and form a very strong lattice structure that will need alot of energy to break up (alot of heat to melt it)

Most metals do, as well as some ionic compounds. Table salt, for instance, melts above six hundred degrees Celsius.

Ceramics melt at extremely high temperatures too.
