Compounds with high melting points have a. covalent bonds b. metallic bonds c. ionic bonds d. no chemical bonds

Compounds with high melting points have .

Further Explanation:

The attraction between different atoms, molecules and ions is known as a chemical bond. Such bonds are responsible for the formation of chemical compounds.

Ionic bond

It is formed by the interaction of a metal with a non-metal. Metals are electropositive in nature so they have the tendency to lose electrons whereas non-metals tend to gain electrons due to their high electronegativity. Metal atoms form cations by loss of electrons and non-metals become anions with the gain of electrons.

Covalent bond

It is formed by the mutual sharing of electrons between the bonded atoms. It is also known as a molecular bond. Such bonds usually exist between two or more non-metals.

Metallic bonds

These are formed between metal atoms and metallic solids are produced. These are good conductors of electricity due to the presence of delocalized electrons. Copper, gold, zinc are examples of metallic solids.

An ionic bond is the strongest bond, followed by metallic bond and covalent bond is the weakest among the three given bonds. A large amount of energy is required to break ionic bonds as compared to the other two bonds so compounds with ionic bonds have high melting points. Therefore option C is correct.
