Question

Which one of the following is the weakest?

(a) Ionic Bond (b) Covalent Bond (c) Metallic Bond (d) van der Waals’ forces​

Answer 1

Answer:

van der Waals’ forces is the weakest among them.

Answer 2

Van der Waals force is the weakest.

• There are different types of intermolecular forces which helps in the formation of different chemical compounds.
• Among the different types of intermolecular forces mentioned in the question, the Van der Waals force is the weakest.
• The forces of the ionic bond, covalent bond and metallic bond are much more higher than Van der Waals force. That's why, the ionic covalent and metallic bonds are difficult to manipulate than any Van der Waals force.
