“hydrogen bonds
Dispersion forces are the weakest intermolecular force (one hundredth-one thousandth the strength of a covalent bond), hydrogen bonds are the strongest intermolecular force (about one-tenth the strength of a covalent bond).”

Answer:

Hydrogen bonds

Step-by-step explanation:

In the intermolecular forces we have:

  • The London forces: all molecules have them, they are proportional to the molecule's weight.
  • The dipole-dipole: this are the result of the interaction between two opposite poles of two polar molecules. This forces are stronger than the London ones.
  • The hydrogen bonds: This forces are the stongest of the intermolecular forces and happen with the interation between the hydrogen of a moelcule and a very electronegative atom of another molecule. This atoms can be F, O or N.
