10. Boiling Point

It is well known that water, a chemical formed by covalent bonds, has a boiling point of (100 C) at sea level. The temperature at which water will boil will decrease according to altitude because the air pressure is lower the higher up we go. The boiling point of water is often used as a benchmark, and it boils at a lower temperature than ionic compounds do.

The strength of the bond in ionic compounds is stronger than those in covalent compounds. This means that more energy is required to break these compounds, and this means more heat, resulting in a higher boiling point.
