Molecular compounds tend to have lower melting points

Answer:

Most of the time, the melting points of ionic compounds are very high compared to the melting points of molecular compounds.

Explanation:

In chemistry, molecular compounds are those compounds that have covalent bonds between their (intramolecular) atoms. These compounds have a lower melting point than ionic compounds and this is because the boiling temperature of a molecular compound is much lower than that of an ionic compound.

Compounds formed by ionic bonds are called ionic compounds. These compounds have a much higher melting point than molecular compounds, because the boiling point of these compounds is much higher than the boiling point of molecular compounds.
