Why do organic compounds have higher melting point and boiling point than inorganic compounds?

Answer 1

Organic compounds don't have higher melting and boiling point, inorganic compound have.

The reason for this is the difference in chemical bonds: organic compounds have a low melting and boiling point because they are composed of relatively weak covalent bonds, whereas inorganic compounds are primarily composed of strong ionic bonds, giving them a very high melting and boiling point.
