Question

valence bonds
valence bonds

covalent bonds
covalent bonds

hydrogen bonds
hydrogen bonds

metallic bonds

Answer 1

Covalent bonds are generally considered the strongest among the options listed. They involve the sharing of electron pairs between atoms, resulting in a strong connection. In contrast, valence bonds typically refer to the same concept as covalent bonds but may not specify strength, hydrogen bonds are weaker interactions between molecules, and metallic bonds involve the sharing of free electrons among a lattice of metal atoms, which is also not as strong as covalent bonds in terms of individual bond strength.
