Detailed Solution
Ionic bond strength depends on two factors :a) Ionic charge - the greater the product of the ionic charges. the stronger the bond.b) Ionic size - the lower the sum of the anion and cation radii, the stronger the bond.Mg+2 and O-2 ions have smaller sizes and more charges compared to the rest. They will form a stronger ionic bond.
