OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you sure its ionic...? covalent bond is a bond shared between two elements equally...wont that make it stronger bond....???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Covalent bond is always weaker than ionic bond.

OpenStudy (rogue):

The electronegativity difference for ionic bonds is much higher than for covalent bonds, so ionic is stronger. Metallic bonding is a type of intermolecular bonding where there is a sea of delocalized mobile electrons. It is significantly stronger than ionic. If you want proof, you can compare the melting points of an ionic salt, like FeCl3 to the melting point of metallic Fe. Metallic bonding.
