Is there any relationship between electronegativity and the melting points in ionic bonds?

Amar Bashyal  Follow

Electronegativity is a computed (as well as an empirically observed) number. It is based on the ionization energy and the electron affinity of an element.

The melting points of network solids depends on the strengths of the bonds which is only peripherally related to the electronegativity difference.
