Solution

The correct option is C Statement 1 is correct, but Statement 2 is not correct.
Ionic bonds are stronger than covalent bond as ionic bonds are formed by complete charge transfer so a coulombic interaction occurs here whereas in a covalent bond, there is sharing of electrons occurs by mixing of the orbitals.

But coulomb interactions have a greater impact than molecular orbitals on the energy, hence ionic bond is stronger.

Ionic bond can be broken when another attractive ion(polar molecule) comes around.

So C is the correct answer.
