Very much higher.

∙ 16y agoionic compounds have high melting points because the have strong intermolecular forces
Molecular compounds boiling point is lower however because they have less strong intermolecular forces.
the strength of the intermolecular forces vary with the strength of the electro negativity of an atom. for instance H2O has a higher boiling point than H2S because Oxygen has a higher electro negativity.
The strength of the intermolecular forces between non-polar molecules is even weaker than that between polar molecules.

What properties do most covalent compounds have in common?
Most molecular compounds do not conduct electricity and have low melting points.
Which type of compound would have the lowest melting point?
Compounds bonded by covalent bonds do not necessarily have low melting points. Some have whereas some don't have.Some polymers and hydrocarbons have very high melting points. But it can be said that they don't have melting points as high as ionic compounds. It is so because ionic bonds are stronger than the covalent bonds.
What are two major characteristics of molecular compounds?
Low melting and boiling points. Some are polar and some are nonpolar. Those that are polar will dissolve in water. They also do not conduct electricity.
Do elements compounds and mixtures have fix melting and boiling point?
Yes, elements have fixed melting points; but some exceptions are with the elements having allotropes (as carbon, sulfur, phosphorous, etc.) - each allotrope has a specific melting point.
What are true statements about ionic compounds?
cation form when an atom gains electronRemoving an electron from an atom requires energy
How does melting point compare among molecular compounds and ionic compounds?
Molecular compounds tend to have lower melting points.
Compared with the melting points of ionic compounds the melting points of molecular solids tend to be .?
Ionic compounds have a higher melting point.
How compared with the melting points of ionic compounds the melting points of molecular solids tend to be?
Ionic compounds have a higher melting point.
How do ionic compounds and molecular compounds differ in their relative melting and bioling points?
Ionic compounds have higher melting and boiling points than molecular compounds do. The electronegativity difference in ionic compounds makes their bond much stronger.
How are the melting points and boiling point of molecular compounds different from ionic compounds?
they have diferent temp. also the ionic compounds dont melt they steam
Compared With the Melting Point Of Ionic Compounds The Melting Points Of Molecular Solids Tend To Be?
Ionic compounds have a higher melting point.
What kind of solid tends to have the lowest melting points?
Molecular compounds tend to have the lowest melting points.
Compared with ionic compounds solid molecular compounds generally?
a lower melting point
What are the properties of molecular compound?
Molecular compounds generally do not conduct electricity and have low melting points.
How are the melting points and the boiling points of molecular compounds different from ionic compounds?
Ionic bonds are significantly resistant to heat, while molecular bonds are broken more easily with the addition of heat energy. Due to this, ionic compounds have much higher boiling points than molecular substances in most cases.
How are the properties of molecular compounds poor conducters of electricity?
Because have lower melting points and boiling points
Which solid is more likely to have the lowest melting point an ionic solid or molecular solid?
Molecular Solids have a lower melting point
