In which compound is bonding between ions stronger? Chem help!?

NaCl has stronger ionic bonding. When NaCl is formed from its elements, 787.5 kJ/mol of energy is released. In order to break the ionic lattice, an equal amount of energy is needed. Thus, NaCl requires more energy to be broken than KCl, and therefore it has stronger ionic bonding.
