First off, we should know what each one is;
Covalent bonds are chemical bonds
Ionic Bonds are electrical attraction between two oppositely charged atoms or groups
Van Der Waals Forces are attractions between the molecules and hold them together
So, lets compare them, shall we?Well, we can tell that they are all bonds of some kind or another. And they all have forces attracting them to something else.

How do hydrogen bonds compare with other intermolecular forces?
Hydrogen bonds are stronger than dipole-dipole and Van der Waals forces.
What is hydrogen peroxide held together by?
Hydrogen peroxide has covalent bonds between the atoms. The atoms are held together by those covalent bonds. There are van der Waals and dipole-dipole forces between the molecules.
Is it true or false that the two main types of chemical bonds are covalent bonds and van der waals forces?
It's true way true this is so freaken true :)
How are ionic bonds and van der waals forces similar?
an ionic bond is formed when one or more electrons are transferred from one atom to another. when molecules are close together a slight attraction can develop between the oppositely charged regions of nearby molecules, known as van der waals forces.
What are the non covalent bonds in graphite?
Van der Waals interactions

The decreasing order for the relative strengths of chemical bonds?
Covalent, ionic, hydrogen, van der Waals forces
What is hydrogen peroxide held together by?
Hydrogen peroxide has covalent bonds between the atoms. The atoms are held together by those covalent bonds. There are van der Waals and dipole-dipole forces between the molecules.
What kind of chemical bond do crystals have?
Ionic compunds which are crystalline- have ionic bonds. Giant covalent can also be crystalline e.g. diamond and silica- these have covalent bonds. Molecular compounds crystallise - these have covalent bonds and the crystals are held together by van der waals forces. and sometimes by hydrogen bonds.

Bonds does solid xenon have?
Covalent or van der Waals' bonding
Weak bonds and strong bonds?
stong bonds are ionic bonds and covalent bonds and weak bonds are van der waals bonds and hydrogen bonds.
. Hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces are types of?
Both are intermolecular forces.
Hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces are types of .?
Both are intermolecular forces.
What type of bonding holds a methane molecule together?
Covalent bonds are the intramolecular forces that hold the hydrogens to the carbon in methane, CH4. The intermolecular forces holding several methane molecules together are London dispersion forces (van der Waals forces).
