Chemistry Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure MHT CET

For the various types of interactions, the CORRECT order of increasing strength is :

(A)Covalent < hydrogen bonding < van der Waal's < dipole-dipole
(B)Van der Waals' < hydrogen bonding < dipole-dipole < covalent
(C)Van der Waals' < dipole-dipole < hydrogen bonding < covalentCorrect
(D)Dipole-dipole < van der Waal's < hydrogen bonding < covalent

Answer: (C)

Solution

The strength increases in the order van der Waals (London) forces < dipole-dipole forces < hydrogen bonding <
