Chemical Bond/interaction Strength Appears in What Order

Question

Chemical bond/interaction strength appears in what order?
A)Hydrogen > covalent > ionic > VanderWaals.
B)Covalent > ionic > hydrogen > VanderWaals.
C)Covalent > hydrogen > ionic > VanderWaals.
D)VanderWaals > hydrogen > ionic > covalent.
E)Ionic > hydrogen > VanderWaals > covalent.

Accepted Answer

Covalent bonds are the strongest chemical bonds, followed by ionic bonds and hydrogen bonds. VanderWaals interactions are the weakest bond type. Therefore, the correct order is covalent > ionic > hydrogen > VanderWaals, which is reflected in choice B.
