The simple explanation- it takes less energy to beak up the ionic lattice of NaCL than it does to break up the metallic lattice of Mo.

Molybdenum is high melting metal, mp. ca. 2600 C. (thats really hot!) The reasons why some metals are high melting and some are low is complex. In simple terms Mo has a very strong metallic bond. Nacl is an ionic compound, these generally have high melting ponts NaCl is ca 800 C (thats also very hot but obviously much less than Mo.

Predicting melting ponts is difficult.
