How does melting point compare among molecular compounds and ionic compounds?

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.

in chemistry, adhesion and cohesion are attractive forces that exist between molecules. they hold the molecules together from each other. they are different in that adhesive force exists between molecules of different substance while cohesive force happens between molecules of same substance.

adhesion between water and glass causes water molecules at the edge of water and glass interface to climb up the wall in a narrow glass tube. this is called capillary action. cohesion is what gives glass its shape and causes water to form a droplet.
