well its a case by case matter.

  • Generally ionic bonds are the strongest
  • followed by covalent bonds (diamonds are made of covalent networks) so it can be said that they are strong
  • fllowed by hydrogen bonds
  • then diople-dipole- interactions
  • and finally the weakest force London dispersion forces.

How many electrons are being shared between the atoms

Electronegativity of the atoms forming the bond

Size of the atoms forming the bond

It depends on exactly what is meant by strength in this context, but the question may be referring to the disassociation constant for an ionic compound dissolved in water.

It all depends on the valency of Hydrogen with other elements.

Is Covalent bond is a strong bond or weak bond?

Covalent bond is a strong chemical bond. Hydrogen bonds are weak bonds.


What are two properties of covalent bonds?

- covalent bonds involve electrons sharing- covalent bond is not so strong as ionic bond


Why is the covalent bonds weak?

Covalent bonds are strong bonds, though they are generally weaker than ionic bonds.


Are hydrogen bonds as strong as ionic and covalent bonds?

No they are significantly weaker.


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.


Do metallic bonds have weak forces?

Metallic bonds are not so strong as covalent and ionic bonds.


In a polymer very long chains of molecules are held together by very strong molecular bonds what are these forces called?

The bonds are called covalent molecular 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.


Why covalent compound is insoluble in water?

The bonds between the atoms are too strong


Is covalent bond the strongest bond?

yes and no. Simple discrete molecules have simple covalent bond and its melting point is very low because little energy is needed to overcome its simple covalent bonds. But it can be very strong when there are plenty of bonds like in diamond- which has a giant covalent lattice. (there are alot of these covalent bonds holding it together) so alot of energy is needed to break the bonds.


Which compound has a high melting point covalent and non metals?

A possible compound would be silicon dioxide with giant covalent structure and strong covalent bonds.


Why the melting and boiling point of covalent compound are low?

Compared to ionic compounds, covalent compounds have relatively low melting and boiling points because covalent bonds are not as strong as ionic bonds, and it is the bonds which hold materials together in the solid, or more solid phases.
