Important Questions on Ionic or Electrovalent Bond

MEDIUM
IMPORTANT

Generally which is the larger charge in size one positive charge or one negative charge?

HARD

By giving an example of an ionic compound show that its ions do not obey octet rule?

HARD
IMPORTANT

We know that Electronegativity is directly proportional to Bond Strength. In NaOH the electronegativity difference between sodium and oxygen is 2.6 and electronegativity difference between oxygen and hydrogen is 1.4. So, electronegativity difference between sodium and oxygen is high as a result bond between them should be strong as compare to bond between oxygen and hydrogen. But,NaOH is a good base and donate OH- by breaking bond between sodium and oxygen. Why bond between them breaks as it is strong than bond between oxygen and hydrogen?
