Because there are a higher amount of delocalised electrons.


Why is there such a big difference between the melting points of sodium fluoride and magnesium oxide?

The melting point of the subtance depends on how strong the bonds are and every metal has a different melting point because of it.

Why the melting point of magnesium oxide is much higher than sodium chloride?

Melting point is dependant upon packing and intermolecular forces. Magnesium and Sodium are both metals, and therefore have metallic bonding. Both are a lattice of positively charged ions surrounded by a sea of delocalized electrons. Magnesium however has 2 delocalized electrons for every one magnesium atom, it therefore forms smaller ions than Sodium, which pack more closely together. The higher number of delocalized electrons in magnesium also pull the positively charged even closer together.
