Question

What determines the strength in ionic bonds?

Answer 1

The strength of a covalent bond is measured by its bond dissociation energy, that is, the amount of energy required to break that particular bond in a mole of molecules. ... For ionic bonds, the lattice energy is the energy required to separate one mole of a compound into its gas phase ions.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Ionic bond, also called electrovalent bond, type of linkage formed from the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions in a chemical compound. Such a bond forms when the valence (outermost) electrons of one atom are transferred permanently to another atom.
