Question
Describe how covalent and ionic bonds differ with regard to bond strength and how is bond length related to stability ane energy?

Most ionic bonds are stronger than most covalent bonds. The bond length:
It takes less energy to break a long bond than a short bond (short bonds are stronger than long bonds). Wouldn't stability correlate with bond length?
