Q. Which of the following statements are correct?

$1.$ A $\text{σ}$ bond is stronger than a $\pi $ bond

$2.$ A covalent bond is stronger than a hydrrogen bond

$3.$ HF is more polar than HCl

$4.$ There is one electrovalent bond and three covalent bonds in methylene chloride

Select the correct answer using the codes given below

Solution:

Here statement 1, 2 and 3 are correct while 4 is incorrect as in methylene chloride $\left(C H_{2} C l_{2}\right)$ , all four bonds are covalent.

A $\sigma $ and covalent bond are stronger than a $\pi $ bond due to stronger overlapping.

HF is more polar than HCl due to more electronegativity difference.
