Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure - Result Question 22
####22. Which one of the following is the correct order of interactions?
[1993]
(a) Covalent $<$ hydrogen bonding $<$ van der Waals $<$ dipole-dipole
(b) van der Waals $<$ hydrogen bonding $<$ dipole-dipole $<$ covalent
(c) van der Waals $<$ dipole-dipole $<$ hydrogen bonding $<$ covalent
(d) Dipole-dipole $<$ van der Waals $<$ hydrogen bonding $<$ covalent.
Show Answer
Solution:
- (b) The strength of the interactions follows the order: van der Waal’s $<$ hydrogen - bonding $<$ dipole-dipole $<$ covalent.
