Answer 1

Covalent bonds and hydrogen bonds are different primarily in terms of their strength. The correct response is:

They are stronger than hydrogen bonds.

Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms, making them much stronger than hydrogen bonds, which are weaker intermolecular forces that occur due to attractions between polar molecules, particularly those involving hydrogen atoms bonded to highly electronegative atoms (like oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine).
