<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
C) Covalent bonds are generally weaker than ionic bonds because they overlap electrons to fill their outer shell.
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
- <em><u>Covalent bond is a type of bond that results from the sharing of electrons between two non-metal atoms. </u></em>
- <em><u>Ionic bond on the other is a type of bond that results from the transfer of electrons between metal atoms and non metal atoms, where a metal atom looses electrons and a non-metal atom gains electrons.</u></em>
- <em><u>The amount of energy required to break an given bond determines how strong a particular bond is.</u></em> Ionic bonds require more energy to break as compared to covalent bond and therefore they are stronger than the covalent bonds.
