Which one of the following is the weakest kind of bonding in solids

1. ionic
2. metallic
3. Van der Waal’s
4. covalent

Correct answer: Van der Waal’s

Solution

Van der Waal's forces are the weakest type of bonding in solids as they arise from temporary dipole interactions and are much weaker compared to ionic, metallic, or covalent bonds.
