Step-by-step explanation:

Ionic bond is much stronger than covalent bond because it involves complete transfer of electrons because of which there is formation of cation and anion and there exist huge electrostatic forces of attraction. They also have high melting and boiling point which proves that the ionic bond is very strong.

Differences between ionic bond and covalent bond :

Ionic Bonds. Covalent Bonds

Polarity :High. Low

Shape : No definite shape. Definite shape

Melting Point :High Low

Boiling Point: High Low

QUËSTIONS :- what are the difference between ionic bond and covalent bond?

IONIC BONDS :- THEY R BONDS WHICH R FORMED DUE TO THE COMPLETE TRANSFER OF ELECTRONS BETWEEN TWO ATOMS

COVALENT BONDS :- THEY R THE BONDS WHICH R FORMED DUE TO INCOMPLETE TRANSFER OF ELECTRONS BETWEEN TWO ATOMS

IONIC BONDS R MORE STRONGER.
