Ionic bonds are formed due to electrostatic force of attraction and Ionic compounds exist as the crystal lattice, (combination of billions of ions), so ionic bond is very strong bond and requires high amount of heat for decomposition.
But in water ionic bonds are weak and easily decompose into ions.
Example.
NaCl ------------ 801 0C----------> Na1+ + Cl1-
NaCl--- water + room temp.---->Na1+ + Cl1-

What do most ionic compounds form?
Ionic bond.
Why do ionic compounds have high melting points?
In ionic compounds, there are strong attractions among the ions; therefore it takes a lot of energy to break those bonds.High melting point depends on bond strength. When talking about bond strength in ionic compounds, I mean lattice energy. So the easiest answer is: They have a high lattice energy.The strong electrostatic interactions between ions require a lot of energy to break the bonds.
What compounds contain an ionic bond?
KBr
What compounds has an ionic bond SO3 CO2 NaCl HCl?
NaCl is ionic.
Can sodium form an ionic bond?
Yes, all sodium compounds are ionic.
What is the relationship between lattice energy and ionic bond strength?
The more lattice energy there is, the more the ionic bond attracts electrons from other atoms forming new compounds.
What are three physical properties of ionic compounds that are associated with ionic bonds and related them to bond strength?
These are melting point, boiling point, hardness.
How is bond energy affected by being immersed in water?
It depends what kind of bond. A covalent bond is barely affected at all. The strength of an ionic bond is essentially reduced to nothing because ionic compounds dissolve readily in water, which breaks all the ionic bonds.
What does Ionic bond?
Ionic bonding forms compounds.
What do most ionic compounds form?
Ionic bond.
Does the strength of a bond have anything to do with the time it takes to melt a substance?
covalent compounds have weaker bonds than those of ionic.
Is an ionic bond mallable?
Ionic compounds do not show malleablity.
