Question

Which of the following has the correct order of increasing relative strengths? A. Hydrogen bonding < covalent bonds < dipole force < dispersion forceB. Dispersion force < dipole force < hydrogen bonding < covalent bondingC. covalent bond < hydrogen bond < dipole < dispersionD. Covalent bonds < hydrogen bond < dispersion < dipole force

Answer 1

Explanation:

First, we need to know that chemical bonds such as covalent and ionic bonds will always have greater strengths in relation to intermolecular interactions.

Hydrogen bond will be the intermolecular interaction with the greates streght. Then dipole force and then dipole.

Answer: B. Dispersion force < dipole force < hydrogen bonding < covalent bonding
