Which of the Following is Not an Example of Noncovalent

Question

Which of the following is not an example of noncovalent interactions between molecules?
A) Salt bridges
B) Hydrogen bonds
C) Hydrophobic interactions
D) Ionic bonds
E) Chemical bonds

Accepted Answer

Noncovalent interactions include forces such as salt bridges, hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic interactions, and ionic bonds. These are weaker than covalent bonds and do not involve the sharing of electrons between atoms. Chemical bonds, however, is a broad term that includes both covalent and ionic bonds, making it not exclusively a noncovalent interaction.
