Answer:

The answer to your question is "It will be a high melting point"

Step-by-step explanation:

Process

1.- Identify the kind of compounds that is Potassium chloride.

Ionic compounds are composed of a metal and a nonmetal.

Covalent compounds are composed of 2 nonmetals.

Potassium chloride is composed of a metal and a nonmetal so, it is an ionic compound.

2.- Conclude, Potassium chloride has a high melting point because is an ionic compound".
