der Waals’ hydrogen bonding covalent.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
The strength of interaction follows the order van der Waals’ 
bond 
‐ dipole 
covalent. It is so because bond length of 
‐ bond is larger than that of a covalent bond. And also, covalent bond is strongest because, the greater the extent of overlapping, the stronger is the bond formed.
