Hydrogen bonds are approximately 5% of the bond strength of covalent C-C or C-H bonds.
Hydrogen bonds strength in water is approximately 20 kJ/mol, strenght of carbon-carbon bond is approximately 350 kJ/mol and strengh of carbon-hydrogen bond is approximately 340 kJ/mol.
20 kJ/350 kJ = 0,057 = 5,7 %.
