it is not compulsory to break or make bonds. they could involve just transfer of electrons from one molecule to another, without bond making or breaking.
Disassociation
Generally speaking, covalent bonds are a stronger.Remember, in covalent bonds a valence electron is shared between two atoms. In an ionic bond, one atom gives and electron to another atom. It takes less energy to break apart the positively charged atom from the negatively charged atom than it does to separate two atoms which are sharing an electron.This is not always the case, however. There are a few ionic bonds that are stronger than covalent bonds. This is especially true when the ionic bonds form into a crystalline structure. There are a lot of them so it is harder to break them apart. It is also much harder to break an ionic bond in a vacuum, since there is nothing to lessen the electrostatic (Coulombic) interaction.Generally, though, you can say that covalent bonds are stronger.
The answer is no. If you are comparing them with covalent or metallic bonds, then covalent is the strongest in general. There are, obviously, exceptions, but in general ionic bonds are easier to break than covalent bonds.
Ionic bonds are far stronger than hydrogen bonds. Ice is held together by hydrogen bonds, and table salt, which is sodium chloride (NaCl), is held together by ionic bonds. You can hammer on ice and break the hydrogen bonds holding it together with relative ease. But you can hammer all day on salt, turn it to a white powder, and not break the sodium-chlorine bonds (those ionic bonds) in any molecules of salt by doing so.

During chemical reactions bonds are broken.

the ionic reactions, temperature , and the formation of bonds determines the color of salt
The ionic elements are thus, as in the salt example here.NaClNa +=======A cation.Cl -======An anion
No, there are many other types of bond other than ionic, such as covalent bonds, one and three electron bonds, bent (or banana) bonds, 3c-2e and 3c-4e bonds, aromatic bonds, and metallic bonds.
Ionic bonds are stronger than covalent bonds and therefore require more energy to break.
Sodium chloride has a high melting point for a few reasons. Sodium chloride is held together by ionic bonds, and ionic bonds are very strong (as compared to covalent bonds, which are relatively weak). The higher the bonding strength, the more heat it will take to break those bonds to create a liquid. Thus, sodium chloride has a high melting point because of the strong ionic bonds it has.
