Ionic compounds are crystalline at room temperature.
It has melting and boiling point.
Covalent compounds occurs in state.
Have relatively  melting point.
 
2. In nature, why are rare gases inert?
 
Noble gases have a valence electronic configuration. So noble gas atoms neither have any tendency to gain nor lose electrons and their valency is . Thus they are said to be inert.
