Give a reason for each of the following :
Ionic compounds have a high melting point.
Ionic compounds do not exist as molecules but exist as aggregates of a large number of positive and negative ions due to strong electrostatic attractions. The number of ions in an aggregate depends on the relative size of positive and negative ions. Thus ionic compounds have high melting points because considerable energy is required to break these aggregates.
