ionic bonds have very strong bonds and molecular bonds have weaker bonds.

answer : very strong, weaker

No, it's the opposite. Ionic bonds are typically weak, and molecular bonds (i.e. covalent bonds) are fairly strong in comparison.

Yes, they both have bonds, though molecular bonds are much stronger. This is due to the strong forces pulling on the shared electron. The ionic bond forms when an atom gives up and electron and another takes it, this taking and giving away, forms a bond, but not a very strong one. We know this because covalent bonds, form network solids, who have a high melting point, do not dissolve, and are extremely hard. While ionic bonds form Ionic compounds, which dissolve in water and are hard, though brittle.

I don't really know what you are asking, but ionic bonds are stronger than molecular bonds, because in a ionic bond, the atoms have a greater difference in electronegativity so one atom basically takes the other's electron. In a molecular bond, the atoms have similar electronegativities so they share electrons rather than have one take the electron away

Bonds vary widely in their strength which is associated both with the energy required to break them, and the forces they exert on the atoms they hold together. Generally covalent and ionic bonds are often described as "strong", whereas hydrogen bonds and van der Waals' bonds are generally considered to be "weak," although there exist overlaps in strength within these bond classes.

Molecular bonds are the bonds between atoms to form molecules.

There are two types of molecular bonds: ionic and covalent. Ionic bonds are formed when one atom gives up one or more electrons to another; the charged atoms are then called ions. The most common example is table salt, sodium chloride, formed when sodium atoms give up an electron to fill the deficit in the outermost orbit of chlorine atoms. (Atoms larger than hydrogen and helium prefer to have exactly 8 electrons in their outermost shell; sodium has one, while chlorine has seven.)

Alternately, atoms can fill their shells by 'agreeing' to share electrons; these kind of bonds are called covalent bonds. Carbon, with exactly four atoms in its outer shell, would rather share electrons than give them up, which is a good thing for us: it means that carbon molecules can attain complex structures, leading to the development of life on Earth (not to mention the science of organic chemistry).

How does solid turn to liquid?

Solids are made up of molecules which have more intermolecular attraction. So these molecules are held together closely. But in case of liquids the inter molecular attraction less. So there is inter molecular space between the molecules. They are not very close to one another. When the inter molecular attraction between the molecules is lost or reduced the solids turn into liquids. When the solid is heated because of the heat the kinetic energy of the molecules is increased and the molecules start moving away from each other. So the inter molecular attraction is lost or reduced. So the solid turns into liquids.
