Which one of the following is the correct order of interactions?

Question

Which one of the following is the correct order of interactions? (A) Covalent < hydrogen bonding < van der Waals' < dipole-dipole (B) van der Waals' < hydrogen bonding < dipole < covalent (C) van der Waals' < dipole-dipole < hydrogen bonding < covalent (D) Dipole-dipole < van der Waals' < hydrogen bonding < covalent

The van der Waals forces are weakest forces and covalent bond is strongest, so the order of interactions is van der Waals < H-bonding < dipole-dipole < covalent.

Q. Which one of the following is the correct order of interactions?

Covalent < hydrogen bonding < van der Waals' < dipole-dipole

van der Waals' < hydrogen bonding < dipole < covalent

van der Waals' < dipole-dipole < hydrogen bonding < covalent

Dipole-dipole < van der Waals' < hydrogen bonding < covalent

The van der Waals forces are weakest forces and covalent bond is strongest, so the order of interactions is van der Waals $<$ H-bonding $<$ dipole-dipole $<$ covalent.
