It's because of the difference in chemical bonds. Inorganic compounds are mostly made of strong ionic bonds, which give them a very high melting and boiling point.
On the other hand, organic compounds are made of comparatively weak covalent bonds, which is the cause of their low melting and boiling point.

Why do organic compounds undergo halogenation much more often than inorganic compounds?

Organic compounds are generally rather inert. It is hard to manipulate an alkane, and often the first step is to introduce a halide by radical . On the other hand,...

What is the difference between organic and inorganic compounds based on solubility and flammability?

Organic compounds are non polar that's why they are soluble in non polar solvent while inorganic are mostly polar so they are soluble in polar solvent. Organic compounds catch fire...

Which of these compounds are organic, which are inorganic : carbon monoxide, CO; glucose, $C_6H_12O_6$; ethanol, $CH_3CH_2OH$; hydrogen cyanide, HCN and octane, $C_8H_18$?

Inorganic: $"CO",$ $"HCN"$ The other compounds are organic. For the status of $"HCN"$, refer to: For more information about organic compouds, refer to:

What are some similarities between organic and inorganic compounds?

I know, this is something you might be wondering, like what?! But, it is possible. Take carbon dioxide or $CO_2$ for example. It is widely considered to be inorganic but...

Are the following compounds organic or inorganic - $C_2H_2$, $C_6H_4CH$, $C_6H_6$, $NH_3$, $H_2O$, $CH_3CHO$, $NH_4OH$, and $B_6O$?

I'll split them into organic and inorganic compounds: $ul(mathbf("Organic")color(white)(aaaaaaaaaaaa)mathbf("Inorganic")$ $C_2H_2color(white)(aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa)NH_3$ $C_6H_4CHcolor(white)(aaaaaaaaaaaaa)H_2O$ $C_6H_6color(white)(aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa)NH_4OH$ $CH_3CHOcolor(white)(aaaaaaaaaaaa)B_6O$ Do you see a pattern between organic compounds and inorganic compounds?

Why do most organic compounds have low boiling and low melting point?

Organic substances have a relatively low polarity and generally have weaker intermolecular forces to hold them together tightly.

Which has the higher melting point, boiling point: toluene or magnesium hydroxide?

Magnesium oxide is a non-molecular species, held together by strong electrostatic bonds, which operates between oppositely charged ions throughout the entire lattice. The melting of the lattice requires that strong...

Why do ionic compounds tend to have higher boiling and melting points than molecular compounds have?

Ionic species are essentially non-molecular with NO molecular boundaries. Given the fact that there are no discrete molecules and strong electrostatic interaction between ions it takes a lot of energy...
