By the addition or removal of electrons from a stable atom or molecule
Given what we know, we can confirm that as an ionic compound grows more complex, its melting point will increase.
<h3>What is an Ionic compound?</h3>
- An ionic compound is one in which atoms of elements share electrons between them to form compounds.
- These shared electrons generate powerful electrostatic forces that we refer to as ionic bonds.
- Electrostatic forces cause an increase in the melting point of a compound.
- As a compound grows more complex and adds more elements to its composition, it will gain new electrostatic forces, and thus<em><u> increase its melting point.</u></em>
Therefore, as an ionic compound grows more complex, its melting point will increase due to the increasing number of strong electrostatic forces present in the compound.

Explanation:
This atom is on the almost extreme right of the 2nd period of the periodic table (except for the stable element on the extreme right). This means it has the highest mass number of the unstable elements of the period. It thus attracts its electron clouds more strongly that the elements to the left of the period . This means it can gain an atom easily ( this is what is called electronegativity – tendency to attract an electron) than is can lose an electron. In addition, it only needs to acquire one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration (8) in its valence shell.
Due to these, it is hard for the atoms to lose an electron which is why it has a high ionization energy- the energy required to lose an electron.
