If you have any suggestions of websites that would have the physical properties of ionic and covalent compounds that would be great! Thanks! :)

Ionic bonds are much stronger than covalent bonds.
this will translate into
Higher BP / MP
Hardness
Brittleness
Electrical conductivity (when in liquid form)
Any chem text will give you a table of comaprison.

Molten ionic compounds alway conduct electrical current. Because the ions carry an electrical charge. CaCO3 contains both an ionic bond between the Ca ion and the CO3 ion the CO3 ion is a polyatomic ion formed by the covalent bond between carbon and oxygen.
