Question

Which one of the following is the correct order of interactions?
(A) Covalent < hydrogen bonding < vander Waals < dipole-dipole
(B) vander Waals < hydrogen bonding < dipole-dipole < covalent
(C) vander Waals < dipole-dipole < hydrogen bonding < covalent
(D) Dipole < vander Waals < hydrogen bonding < covalent

Answer 1

Explanation:

Bvan der Waals' < hydrogen bonding < dipole-dipole < covalenSolution:

The van der Waals forces are wekest forces and covalent bond is strongest, so the order of interactions is van der Waals < H-bonding < dipole-dipole < covalent.
