Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Hydrogen bonds are intermolecular forces of interaction that exist between molecules of a substance in which hydrogen is bonded to a highly electronegative atom. Hydrogen bonds are strong intermolecular forces and account for high melting and boiling points of small molecules such as water. They stem from dipole-dipole interaction between molecules of a substance.
Metallic bonds are bond forces which exist in a metal. Metal cations are held together by a sea of electrons via electrostatic interaction.
The ionic bond is formed by transfer of electrons from one atom to another leading to the formation of an ion pair held together by electrostatic attraction.
Metallic bonds and hydrogen bonds are much weaker than ionic bonds. Ionic compounds are known to have high melting and boiling points.
