yes. This is due to the attractions between the positive and negative ions. That is why ionic compounds have high boiling and tend to be more brittle than materials containing only covalently bonded atoms.

Are ionic bonds strong in a liquid state?
Ionic bonds are not particularly strong in a liquid phase.
What is the difference in strength between atoms with ionic bonds and atoms with covalent bonds?
ionic bonds have strong bonds and molecular bonds have very strong bonds.
What bond does sodium bromide have?
Sodium bromide is an ionic compound held together by strong ionic bonds.
What is unique about ionic bonds?
Ionic bonds are unique in that they are strong bonds between a metal and an non-metal in the periodic table. The metal takes the electrons from the non-metal instead of covalent bonds which electrons are shared.
Is concrete made of ionic compounds or covalent compounds?
Concrete is made of covalent compounds with strong bonds. Non-metals and metals form ionic compounds only.
Are ionic bonds strong in a liquid state?
Ionic bonds are not particularly strong in a liquid phase.
What is the difference in strength between atoms with ionic bonds and atoms with covalent bonds?
ionic bonds have strong bonds and molecular bonds have very strong bonds.
What are the comparative strengths of ionic - and molecular bonds?
Ionic bonds are strong, molecular bonds are relatively weak.
Are ionic bonds weak?
No, relatively strong
Why are ionic bonds weak?
No, relatively strong
Which chemical bond is a strong bond?
Ionic bonds are the strongest bonds
Are hydrogen bonds as strong as ionic and covalent bonds?
No they are significantly weaker.
Ionic bonds are strong enough to cause all ionic compounds to be?
Solid
Do metallic bonds have weak forces?
Metallic bonds are not so strong as covalent and ionic bonds.
Weak bonds and strong bonds?
stong bonds are ionic bonds and covalent bonds and weak bonds are van der waals bonds and hydrogen bonds.
What bonds are easily disrupted in aqueous solution?
Ionic bonds readily disassociate in aqueous solutions. Table salt, or sodium chloride with the molecular formula of NaCl breaks up into Na+ and Cl- ions in these solutions.
What bond does sodium bromide have?
Sodium bromide is an ionic compound held together by strong ionic bonds.
