Hydrogen bonds are in the family of Van der Waals forces. They are weaker than ionic and covalent bonds but they cause interesti

ng changes with different chemicals.
What is one of the changes that hydrogen bonds are responsible for?

A. Cause DNA has the double helix shape.

B. Causes salts quickly dissolve in water.

C. Cause sugar looks like a crystal.

D. Cause liquid H2O to have a larger volume than frozen (solid) H2O

Answer:

The answer is B. Van der Waals forces are weaker than ionic and covalent bonds.

Explanation:

In general, if we arrange these molecular forces from the strongest to weakest, it would be like this:

Covalent bonds > Ionic bonds > Hydrogen bonds > Dipole-Dipole Interactions > Van der Waals forces

Covalent bonds are known to have the strongest and most stable bonds since they go deep and into the inter-molecular state. A diamond is an example of a compound with this characteristic bond.

Ionic bonds are the next strongest molecular bond following covalent bonds. This is due to the protons and electrons causing an electro-static force which results to the strong bonds. An example would be Sodium Chloride (NaCl), which when separated is Na⁺ and Cl⁻.

Van der Waals forces, also known as Dispersion forces, are the weakest type of molecular bonds. They are only formed through residual molecular attractions when molecules pass by each other. It doesn't even last long due to the uneven electron dispersion. It can be made stronger by adding more electrons in the molecule. This kind of molecular bonds appear in non-polar molecules such as carbon dioxide.

HOPE THIS HELPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
