Question:
Hydrogen bonds are stronger than
Hydrogen bonds are stronger than
Show Hint
Hydrogen bonding is weaker than ionic or covalent bonding, but stronger than van der Waals forces.
Updated On: May 7, 2026
- Ionic bonds
- Metallic bonds
- Covalent bonds
- Vander waals bond
Show Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Hydrogen bonding is an intermolecular attractive force.
It occurs when hydrogen is bonded to highly electronegative atoms such as:
\[
F,\quad O,\quad N.
\]
Hydrogen bonds are weaker than strong primary bonds such as ionic, covalent, and metallic bonds.
However, hydrogen bonds are stronger than ordinary van der Waals forces.
Van der Waals forces are weak intermolecular attractions caused by temporary or induced dipoles.
Thus, the general strength order is:
\[
\text{Covalent/Ionic/Metallic} > \text{Hydrogen bond} > \text{Van der Waals force}.
\]
Therefore, hydrogen bonds are stronger than:
\[
\text{Vander waals bond}.
\]
