Ionic bonds have stronger bonds than covalent but are easier to separate simply because Ionic Compounds are POLAR molecules. There electronegativity different between the Metal and Non metal is higher than 1.7 (Extremely polar). This means putting, example NaCl (Salt), in water, will easily dissolve the NaCl into the cation and anion. Hopefully this helps.

How is ionic bonding differant to covalent bonding?

In ionic bonding electrons are transferred from one element to another and are localised and not shared. the force of attraction in ionic bonding is electrostatic. In covalent bonding electrons are shared, or in some cases delocalised as in benzene. The source of the strength of a covalent bond is a quantum effect.

What is the different between covalent and ionic bonding?

A Covalent Bond is insoluble, where as an Ionic Bond is soluble.For example: MgCl2 is an Ionic Bond because it can be separate to become three particles: 2 Chlorides and 1 magnesium. The chemical formula for sucrose, glucose, and such are Covalent Bond because they do not separate into particles.
