Question

The strongest bond is ?

• A. Ionic
• B. Covalent
• C. Hydrogen bond
• D. Metallic

Answer 1

The correct option is A Ionic

solution:

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.

This type of bonds occurs in the structure of metals, that is, when the number of valence electrons is only a small fraction of the coordination number; then neither an ionic nor a covalent bond can be established. The metallic bond is somewhat weaker than the ionic and covalent bond.

and we know hydrogen bonds are the weakest

hence the correct option : A
