The melting point of radium chloride is 900 0C.
ionic compound tend to have a high melting point because of their high electronegativity.
ionic compounds
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.
It melts
no, they are two different things. molecular compounds have a lower boiling and melting point relative to ionic.

Because it is a ionic compound.
The ionic bond is stronger.
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.
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.
Sodium chloride is a ionic compound. Generally they have high melting points.
It melts
no, they are two different things. molecular compounds have a lower boiling and melting point relative to ionic.
Ionic compounds have higher melting points than covalent compounds. Common table salt, sodium chloride, is an ionic compound and has a melting point of 801 oC. Table sugar, sucrose, a covalent compound, has a melting point of about 186 oC.
Because NaCl is stable to thermal degradation and is an ionic compound.
