Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following is the correct order from Weakest to Strongest?
A
Dipole-Dipole, H Bond, Ion-Dipole, Covalent
B
Dipole-Dipole, Ion-Dipole, H Bond, Covalent
C
Covalent, H Bond, Ion-Dipole, Dipole-Dipole
D
Covalent, Dipole-Dipole, Ion-Dipole, H Bond
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Therefore, the order of strength of bonds from the strongest to weakest is; Ionic bond > Covalent bond > Hydrogen bond > Van der Waals interaction.

Detailed explanation-2: -Thus, we will think of these bonds in the following order (strongest to weakest): Covalent, Ionic, Hydrogen, and van der Waals. Also note that in Chemistry, the weakest bonds are more commonly referred to as “dispersion forces.” Hydrogen Bonds: hydrogen attracts and bonds to neighboring negative charges.

Detailed explanation-3: -The order of strength in the decreasing order is: ion-dipole, hydrogen bonds, dipole-dipole, and Vander Waals Forces.

Detailed explanation-4: -Ion-dipole bonding is also stronger than hydrogen bonding. An ion-dipole force consists of an ion and a polar molecule aligning so that the positive and negative charges are next to one another, allowing for maximum attraction.
