Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Covalent bonds are stronger than ionic bonds.
A
TRUE
B
FALSE
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Generally, ionic bonds are much stronger than covalent bonds. In ionic bonds, there is complete transfer of electrons between elements to form a stable compound. While in covalent bond, there is only sharing of electrons between two elements to form a stable compound.

Detailed explanation-2: -Because of the close sharing of pairs of electrons (one electron from each of two atoms), covalent bonds are stronger than ionic bonds.

Detailed explanation-3: -Importance of Covalent Bonds Covalent bonds are the strongest bonds in nature and under normal biological conditions have to be broken with the help of enzymes. This is due to the even sharing of electrons between the bonded atoms and as with anything equally shared there is no conflict to weaken the arrangement.

Detailed explanation-4: -In chemistry, a covalent bond is the strongest bond, In such bonding, each of two atoms shares electrons that bind them together. For example-water molecules are bonded together where both hydrogen atoms and oxygen atoms share electrons to form a covalent bond.

Detailed explanation-5: -TRUE. The bond is just the attraction between the oppositely charged ions. If the ions are close together this force will be a strong bond.
