  16. Why do ionic compounds have high melting points?

    • Delocalised electrons bind the lattice together strongly, so a large amount of energy is needed to melt it
    • Strong electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions in the lattice needs a lot of energy to overcome
    • Ions are held together by shared pairs of electrons that are very strong and directional in the lattice
    • Ions are free to move through the lattice, so energy is needed to separate them from each other
