List the following bond types in order of increasing strength: non-polar covalent bonds, ionic bonds, hydrogen bonds, polar covalent bonds. a. hydrogen bonds, ionic bonds, non-polar covalent bonds, polar covalent bonds. b. hydrogen bonds, non-polar covalent bonds, polar covalent bonds, ionic bonds. c. hydrogen bonds, ionic bonds, polar covalent bonds, non-polar covalent bonds. d. ionic bonds, polar covalent bonds, non-polar covalent bonds, hydrogen bondse. non-polar covalent bonds, polar covalent bonds, hydrogen bonds, ionic bonds.

Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In an ionic bond, there occurs attraction between oppositely charged ions due to which there occurs strong forces of attraction between them. Therefore, ionic bonds are the strongest bonds.

For example, is a polar covalent compound. Partial opposite charges tend to develop on the atoms of a polar covalent compound.

For example, is a non-polar covalent molecule. No partial charges will be there on the atoms of a non-polar covalent molecule.

For example, in HCl compound there occurs hydrogen bonding.

In this type of bond, dipole-dipole attractive interactions tend to take place. And, strength of hydrogen bonds is very weak.

Thus, we can conclude that given bond types are arranged in order of increasing strength as follows.

      Hydrogen bonds < non-polar covalent bonds < polar covalent bonds < ionic bonds

he uptake of drugs from the intestine is often strongly influenced by diffusion. for example, consider a water-insoluble steroid for treating inflammation that is solubilized in aggregates of detergent molecules, called micelles. these micelles, aggregates of 80 soap molecules, have a molecular weight of 24,000, a diameter of 2.6 nm, and a charge of -27. the positively charge ions (counterions) in this system are na".
