Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

London dispersion forces are the weakest among intermolecular forces, followed by hydrogen bonds, ionic interactions, and covalent bonds. The options are already arranged in the ascending order of strength, so we only need to identify the correct order. Among the options given, option B correctly ranks the interactions in increasing order of strength.
