Question

Why does electronegativity affect the strength of an ionic bond?

Answer 1

Answer:

This is because the more electronegativity difference there is between the atoms of a molecule, the less equally the electrons of the bond are shared, making the bond weaker than if the electrons were shared equally.

Answer 2

Answer:

Oppositely charged particles attract each other. This attractive force is often referred to as an electrostatic force

Explanation:
