Why are the melting temperatures of most ionic compounds far greater than the melting temperatures of most covalent compounds?
A) Ionic bonds are so much stronger than the molecular attractions between covalently bonded compounds.
B) Covalent bonds are not as strong as ionic bonds.
C) As a solid, salts have a very organized crystalline structure which takes a lot of energy to break apart.
D) Most covalent compounds have at least one weak bond in their structure that is easily broken when heat is added.
