Potassium iodide has a higher boiling point because it is ionically bonded while water is polar covalent (with hydrogen bonds). The ionic bonds on KI are stronger than the bonds of water. This means that the molecules are "stuck" to each other stronger than water's molecules. Then it would take more energy (heat) to "unstick" them to change its state of matter, resulting in a higher boiling point.

Why is KCL soluble in water?
KI is more soluble in water because I is bigger than Cl, meaning that the atomic radius is larger and therefore the bond is weaker. Solubility is higher with weaker bonds because they break easier.
What is the melting point of KI?
The melting point of potassium iodide is 681 oC.

Why does potassium iodide only dissolve when its melted or in water?
Generally polar solute dissolve in polar solvent.KI & water both polar.when KI react with water due to hydrogen bonding & solvation(i.e.K&I ions are surrounded by water molecule) KI dissolves in water.
Highest boiling point between NH3 HCl H2 and KI?
The highest boiling point beween these compounds: potassium iodide (KI) with 1 330 0C.
What has the lowest boiling pt KCl or KI?
The boiling point of potassium iodide is 1 330 0C. The boiling point of potassium chloride is 1 420 0C.
Which compound will have a lower melting point KI or CaI2?
I couldn't predict this from first principles.! Checking the data CaI2 as the hydrate melts slightly higher than anhydrous KI. what that proves I do not know.
