Hydrogen bonds are generally stronger than

Explanation

Hydrogen bonds are relatively strong intermolecular forces, but they are weaker than covalent, ionic, and metallic bonds. Van der Waals forces are the weakest type of attraction between molecules.

Hydrogen bonds form when hydrogen attached to oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine attracts another electronegative atom. This creates a stronger attraction than regular Van der Waals forces.

Water has high boiling point because hydrogen bonds hold molecules together strongly. Breaking hydrogen bonds requires more energy than overcoming Van der Waals forces but less than breaking covalent bonds.
