"Individual hydrogen bonds are weak and easily broken; however, they occur in very large numbers in water and in organic polymers, creating a major force in combination. Hydrogen bonds are also responsible for zipping together the DNA double helix." -lumenlearning

Why is it important that your skin is made of strong covalent bonds instead of weak hydrogen bonds?
Because you could not take a bath, for one thing, with hydrogen bonded skin. Any solution would wash your skin away as the skin, polar bonded, would interact with the water, polar. Covalent bonds would not do this as they are nonpolar.
Does carbon form weak or strong bonds?
it forms strong bonds with itself and with hydrogen
Are hydrogen bonds in DNA weak or strong?
the bond is strong

Is a hydrogen bond a true bond?
If you are asking about the hydrogen bonds between molecules then no, they are not actual bonds but are instead a force of attraction.See: Why_is_hydrogen_bonding_not_a_true_bond
What types of bonds holds the DNA bases together?
Strong hydrogen bonds.

Is hydrogen bonding the weakest?
Hydrogen bonds are not the weakest bonds.

What kinds of bonds are hydrogen bonds?
There are a few types of hydrogen bonds. Fluorine, oxygen, and nitrogen are the elements that typically form bonds with hydrogen.
Weak bonds and strong bonds?
stong bonds are ionic bonds and covalent bonds and weak bonds are van der waals bonds and hydrogen bonds.

Is Covalent bond is a strong bond or weak bond?
Covalent bond is a strong chemical bond. Hydrogen bonds are weak bonds.
The attraction of water particles to each other?
Strong hydrogen bonds as the Oxygen is really electronegative and the hydrogen is really unelectronegative. The hydrogen bonds to the oxygen of another molecule.
