Do Covalent compounds boil at higher temperatures than ionic bonds or lower temperatures than ionic bonds?

'Covalently bonded' = 'Non polar' compounds have much LOWER boiling points than polar compounds and 'ion bonded' = 'Crystallic' compounds.
(Compare: (all at STP)
- H2S (gas, linear, covalent H-S bonds) and
- H2O (liquid, non-linear, polar H-O bonds) and
- Na2O (solid, ionic, crystal, tetrahedrical(Na+) +cubic(O2-)

What types of compounds are formed by covalent bonds?
Covalent compounds are formed by covalent bonds.
Why is the melting point for ionic compounds higher then the melting point of molecular compounds?
Ionic bonds are stronger than covalent bonds and therefore require more energy to break.
How do compounds form in a covalent bond?
Covalent bonds form compounds through the sharing of electrons.
What is the difference between and ionic and covalent bond?
Compounds with covalent bonds form molecules. Compounds with ionic bonds form ionic lattices.
Compounds with both ionic and covalent bonds contain this type if ion?
Compounds with both ionic and covalent bonds contain polyatomic ions.

Is Shares Electrons a ionic or a covalent compounds?
"Shares electrons" is a characteristic of covalent bonds, which form covalent compounds.
What is one different between a metallic bond and a covalent bond?
Metalic bonds are in metals. Covalent bonds are in covalent compounds.
What is covalent compounds used for?
Organic compounds have covalent bonds, and these compounds are the basis of life on Earth; the human body is composed of them.
What type of bonds are in organic compounds?
Organic molecules all contain covalent bonds. It is possible, though not common, to have an ionic bond as well as covalent bonds in a molecule.
