Ionic bond is much stronger than covalent bond because it involves complete transfer of electrons because of which there is formation of cation and anion and there exist huge electrostatic forces of attraction. They also have high melting and boiling point which proves that the ionic bond is very strong.

If we describe the strength of an individual bond then the ionic bond is stronger than a covalent bond. While in network structure like diamond and silica covalent bond is stronger. As well as in the question, word molecule is used (covalent bond) not the word compound (ionic bond).
So, the answer is a covalent bond here while the individual ionic bond is stronger than an individual covalent bond.
So, the answer is a covalent bond here while the individual ionic bond is stronger than an individual covalent bond.

Covalent bond is the strongest bond in the chemical bonding between atoms.

It is electrovalent or ionic bonding not covalent bonding because ionic bonding are stronger than the covalent bonding.

Covalent bonds is the answer. I agree.

It Should be Ionic bond because ionic bond have higher energy of dissociation

Covalent bonds are very strong and they are present in non-metals. Molecules in an atom are linked by covalent bonds.

Covalent bonds are the strongest bonds whereas non-covalent are the weakest which is easier for the enzymes to break the bond.

The ionic bonds are stronger than that of covalent bonds. Because its dissociation energy is more than covalent bond.

The easy way to determine that is to measure the energy it takes to break the bond. That quantity is called bond dissociation energy. The greater the energy it takes to break the bond, the stronger that bond must be. It turns out that most ionic bonds are considerably more difficult to break than covalent bonds. I think!
