Why do Ionic bonds have a higher melting point than covalent bonds?

• The bonds between atoms in a molecule are weaker than an ionic compound.

• The bonds between molecules are weaker than the bonds between formula units of an ionic compound

• The bonds between atoms in an ionic compound are weaker than a covalent compound

• The bonds between formula units are weaker than the bonds between molecules
