Question

When comparing the strength of bonds between molecules, Ionic bonds have _______ bonds, and molecular bonds have _____ bonds?
a. very strong, weaker
b. weak, strong
c. strong, very strong
d. weak, very weak

I believe the answer is A.

Answer 1

Ok, some will take that answer, and some will take any other answer. I have seen some texts pronounce b) the answer. It is a very bad question. Ionic bonds and molecular bonds vary, and overlap each other. And, it depends on the products of the breaking (ions or atoms).
