Many ionic compounds have high melting points because a lot of energy is required to break the strong ionic bonds. So after breaking the ionic bonds, the ionic compound becomes a liquid. How do you explain why the ionic compound also has high boiling point?

SraJMcGin gave you some good sites. The answer is there on the summaries without going to any of the links themselves.
