Why do ionic compounds have high melting points?

Question:

Answer:

The structure of ionic compounds is solid and hard. In this state the force of attraction between the ions is very strong. To overcome (break) such strong forces, a high amount of energy is required. Thus, ionic compounds have high melting points.
