Being a covalent compound, the intermolecular forces between the Cl2O molecules are weak and easily overcome. Therefore little heat energy, in terms of low boiling point is involved.

Does the oxide of Barium have a high or low melting point?
High melting point
Does chlorine have a high melting point low boiling point etc?
low melting point, it is a gas at room temperature....
Why does chlorine have a higher boiling point than krypton?
To determine why chlorine's melting point (-100.98) is higher than krypton's melting point (-157.2), you must look at the electron configuration of the elements. 36Kr: [Ar]4s23d104p6, and 17Cl: [Ne]3s23p5. There is a trend in the periodic table that states that elements with paired electrons in the electron orbitals will have extremely low melting points (why all noble-gases have low melting points). So since krypton is a noble-gas, it has every electron orbital filled, forming an octet, therefore having a lower melting point. Chlorine, has a 3p5 orbital and therefore not completing the octet, or paired p-orbital, therefore having a higher melting point.
Why does sulfur have low melting point?
By contrast, the forces of attraction are very weak. The result of these feeble intermolecular forces is that the melting point is very low.
Does platinum have a low melting point?
No, platinum has a high melting point. Its melting point is 1,772°C

low melting point
Do solids have a high or low melting point?
That depends on the solid: ice has a very low melting point, lard and butter have low melting points, chocolate has a relatively low melting point, wax has an intermediate melting point, lead has a high melting point, iron has a very high melting point, tungsten has an extremely high melting point.
