Which of the Following is Not Considered to Be a Weak

Question

Which of the following is not considered to be a weak molecular interaction?
A) a covalent bond
B) a van der Waals interaction
C) an ionic bond in the presence of water
D) a hydrogen bond
E) both a hydrogen bond and a covalent bond

Accepted Answer

A covalent bond is not considered to be a weak molecular interaction as it involves the sharing of electrons between atoms, resulting in a strong bond. The other options, including van der Waals interactions, ionic bonds in the presence of water, and hydrogen bonds, are all considered weak molecular interactions. Option E is incorrect as a hydrogen bond is a type of weak molecular interaction.
