Ionic compounds have high melting points.
This can best be explained by the fact that the bonds in ionic compounds

A. involve the sharing of electrons.
B. require a great deal of energy to break.
C. occur between metals and nonmetals.
D. form between a positively charged atom and a negatively charged atom.

Respuesta :

A involve the sharing of electrons
b.) require a great deal of energy to break.

Most ionic compounds exist as solids at room temperature. In order to melt or boil an ionic compound, the ionic bonds must be broken. It takes a great deal of energy to break an ionic bond. For this reason, ionic solids have high melting and boiling points.
