Why is Ionic Bonding stronger than Hydrogen Bonding?

Question

Hydrogen Bonding is known to be stronger than Permanent Dipoles and Instantaneous Dipoles. However, Ionic Bonding is considerably stronger than Hydrogen Bonding. Why is this? What are the specific details?

Answer 1

Hydrogen bonding is an attraction between hydrogen atoms that are attached to highly electronegative elements (N, O, F) and other partially negative atoms such as O, N and F.  These are attractions of PARTIALLY  positive and negative species, whereas ionic bonds are bonds between complete positive and negative species.  The attraction between FULL charges is stronger than the attraction between PARTIAL charges.
