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.

No, hydrogen bonds are weak in comparison to both ionic and covalent bonds.


Which is stronger - a disulfide or ionic bond?

Disulfide bond is a covalent bond and the relative strength of bond types is as follows:Covalent > Ionic > Hydrogen > Van der Walls forcesTherefore, disulfide bond is stronger than ionic bond

How does a Li-O bond differ from an O-H bond?

Lithium has a much lower electronegativity than hydrogen, therefore it forms a much stronger, ionic bond, and hydrogen forms a weaker covalent bond with oxygen.

Is oxygen and hydrogen a ionic bond?

No, oxygen and hydrogen do not form an ionic bond. When oxygen and hydrogen bond to form water, they share electrons in a covalent bond, where electrons are shared between the atoms rather than transferred.


Is hydrogen an ionic bond?

If you mean is the bond in hydrogen gas, H2 ionic then the answer is no.


Which is stronger-hydrogen bond or chemical bond?

Chemical bonds are stronger than hydrogen bonds. Chemical bonds involve the sharing or transfer of electrons between atoms, forming strong connections, such as ionic, covalent, or metallic bonds. In contrast, hydrogen bonds are a type of intermolecular bond formed between a hydrogen atom and an electronegative atom, like oxygen or nitrogen, in a different molecule.
