Dipoles are a form of intermolecular force which holds molecules together. The greater the intermolecular force, usually the greater the boiling point, for example.
The differences in melting and boiling points between ionic and covalent compounds are due to the strength of the intermolecular forces present. Ionic compounds have strong electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions, resulting in higher melting and boiling points. Covalent compounds have weaker intermolecular forces such as London dispersion forces or dipole-dipole interactions, leading to lower melting and boiling points compared to ionic compounds.
The stronger the bonds between molecules; the higher the melting/boiling points. This makes sense if you think about it, melting/boiling is splitting up the molecules - the stronger they are bonded the more energy you will need
When molecules have permanent dipole moments
Hold Polar molecules together
Melting and boiling points are higher when intermolecular forces (such as hydrogen bonding, dipole-dipole interactions, or London dispersion forces) are stronger. These forces hold molecules together, so more energy is required to overcome them and change the state of the substance. Conversely, weaker intermolecular forces result in lower melting and boiling points.
The melting and boiling points of a substance are determined by the strength of intermolecular forces between its molecules. Substances with stronger intermolecular forces, such as hydrogen bonding or dipole-dipole interactions, will have higher melting and boiling points. Conversely, substances with weaker forces, like London dispersion forces, will have lower melting and boiling points. Therefore, the specific type and strength of intermolecular forces present in a substance dictate its melting and boiling points.

Intermolecular forces are forces of attraction or repulsion between molecules, which determine the physical properties of substances such as boiling point, melting point, and solubility. Examples of intermolecular forces include hydrogen bonding, dipole-dipole interactions, and London dispersion forces.
When molecules have permanent dipole moments
Intermolecular forces are weak interactions between molecules that hold them together. These forces include hydrogen bonding, dipole-dipole interactions, and London dispersion forces. They influence the physical properties of substances such as boiling point, melting point, and solubility.
Hold Polar molecules together
Melting and boiling points are higher when intermolecular forces (such as hydrogen bonding, dipole-dipole interactions, or London dispersion forces) are stronger. These forces hold molecules together, so more energy is required to overcome them and change the state of the substance. Conversely, weaker intermolecular forces result in lower melting and boiling points.
Types of attractions between molecules include van der Waals forces (including London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole interactions, and hydrogen bonding), ion-dipole interactions, and hydrophobic interactions. These forces can influence the physical properties of substances, such as boiling and melting points.
Ionic substances are held together by electrostatic forces of attraction between positively and negatively charged ions, while molecular substances are held together by various types of intermolecular forces such as hydrogen bonding, dipole-dipole interactions, and London dispersion forces. Ionic substances have higher melting and boiling points due to the strong electrostatic forces, while molecular substances typically have lower melting and boiling points as the intermolecular forces are weaker.
Think relationships here... really London Dispersion Force is like an acquaintance, Dipole Dipole is like boyfriend/girlfriend and Hydrogen Bonding is like marriage. Now out of the three London dispersion is the easiest to break the bonds, Di Pole Di pole are a little harder to break up and Hydrogen bonding are the hardest to break up the bonds. Hydrogen Bonding will always have the strongest bond. London dispersion is when for a split second their is a short attraction and doesn't last long. It is very weak therefore making this non- polar. Dipole Dipole means 2 opposite sides. Positive and negative charges. This molecule is a Polar molecule. Hydrogen Bonding is a Polar molecule which attaches itself to either N,O,or F. A melting point takes a low energy to melt so the bonds are weak. the higher the boiling temperature the stronger the bonds. Think H20. Melting is comparing how hard it is to separate the molecules. Same Concept. Ex.1.) CH4 / LiCl CH4 more soluable / LiCl low soluability CH4 low melting point / LiCL higher melting point CH4 low boiling point/ LiCL Higher boiling point CH4 London Dispersion / LiCl Dipole Dipole Example2: H2O / NaCl H2O high boiling point/ NaCl lower boiling point H2O Hydrogen bonding/ NaCl Dipole Dipol
The covalent melting and boiling points are generally lower than those of ionic compounds due to weaker intermolecular forces between covalent molecules. These forces include London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole interactions, and hydrogen bonding. The actual melting and boiling points vary depending on the specific molecules involved.
