Ionic solids tend to have higher melting points than molecular solids because ionic bonds are stronger than the intermolecular forces that hold molecular solids together.

• True

• False

Covalent-network solids are harder than molecular solids because covalent-network solids are held together by intermolecular forces and molecular solids are held together by large networks.
