Question

The correct increasing order of bond strength among the following is:
Options
A Covalent > Ionic > Hydrogen > van der Waals
Correct Answer
B Ionic > Covalent > Hydrogen > van der Waals
C Hydrogen > Ionic > Covalent > van der Waals
D Covalent > Hydrogen > Ionic > van der Waals
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Bond strengths generally follow the order: covalent and ionic bonds are the strongest primary bonds, with covalent often slightly stronger than ionic. Hydrogen bonds are a strong type of intermolecular force, and van der Waals forces are the weakest intermolecular attractions.

Hint

Rank from weakest to strongest. Which are intramolecular (primary) and which are intermolecular?
