Step-by-step explanation:
Ionic compounds are the compounds formed by transfer of electrons between its atoms. Atoms of ionic compounds have opposite charge and that is why these atoms are held together by strong forces of attraction.
As a result, melting point of ionic compounds is high.
Whereas molecular solids are attached by weak Vander waal forces, that is, melting point of molecular solids is low.
Thus, we can conclude that compared to the melting points of ionic compounds, the melting point of molecular solids tend to be low.
