A) chemists are usually considering free ionic bonds between charged atoms.
B) cell biologists are usually comparing ionic bonds to much stronger hydrogen bonds.
C) chemists examine ionic bonds only in the context of an aqueous cellular environment.
D) cell biologists overlook the role of water in reducing the strength of ionic bonds.
