Which of the following is the strongest type of bond
-
Hydrogen
-
Covalent
-
Ionic
-
Vanderwaal
B
Correct answer
Explanation
Covalent bonds are the strongest chemical bonds among common types, involving the sharing of electron pairs between atoms. They have bond energies typically ranging from 150-400 kJ/mol. Option B is correct. Ionic bonds (C) are strong but generally weaker than covalent in similar conditions, while hydrogen bonds (A) and Van der Waals forces (D) are much weaker intermolecular forces.
