Solution

Ionic bonds:
An ionic bond is a chemical bond formed between two oppositely charged atoms.
These bonds are formed when one atom donates its valence electron(s) to another atom.
Ionic bonds are stronger in nature but they can be broken.
Ionic bonds can be broken by dissolving in water or by heating at a high temperature.
