Question

Which bond is stronger among ionic, covalent or hydrogen?

Answer 1

1. Chemical bonds can be either formed by sharing of electrons or by transfer of electrons, by which the bonding atoms attain an octet[or duplet] state.
2. The bonds formed by sharing of electrons between the bonding atoms are known as covalent bonds.
3. The bonds formed by transfer of electrons are known as ionic bonds.
4. Hydrogen bonding is a special type of dipole-dipole interaction between a covalently bonded highly electronegative atom[ like Oxygen, Nitrogen, Fluorine] and hydrogen.
5. As ionic bonds are formed due to electrostatic interactions unlike covalent bonds having weak Wan der Vaal interactions or hydrogen bonding having dipole-dipole interactions, they are the strongest among the ionic, covalent and hydrogen bonds.
6. So, in conclusion the ionic bonds are strongest among ionic, covalent and hydrogen bonds.
