CHEM Question: Which is stronger: Ionic or Covalent bond?

[SUBxWRX]

Explanation would helpful. THanks!

 

[SoylentGreen]

Covalent.

 

[amnesiac]

That's a really basic question that can be answered quite easily by LOOKING IN YOUR TEXTBOOK.

 

[GoodToGo]

Ionic bond, because it is attraction between opposite charges(positive and negative ions). Covalent is attraction between like charges(electrons).

 

[Ronstang]

Ionic is the winner here.....because of the above explanation also....
