Yes, they are. Covalent bonds are the strongest type of intramolecular bond, and hydrogen bonds are the strongest type of intermolecular bond. However, intramolecular bonds (within molecules or compounds) are ALWAYS stronger that intermolecular bonds (between molecules), so covalent bonds are much stronger that hydrogen bonds.

∙ 14y agoFalse :) Due to the fact that IONIC BONDS is a chemical bond between atoms formed be the transfer of one or more electrons from one atom to the next. Where as the COVALENT BONDS share their atoms so that each atom is able to fill its outer electron shell.

∙ 13y agoIt is so because in covalent bonding, elements share common electrons and making their bonding strong while in the case of hydrogen bonding, their is a weak interaction between two adjacent hydrogen atoms which is not as strong as the covalent bond.
***
Hydrogen bonding is not an attraction between two hydrogen atoms - a hydrogen atom that has already bonded cannot bond again, since its valence shell cannot support more than two electrons, and one bond would fill this.
Hydrogen bonding is an attraction between a hydrogen atom of one molecule and a oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine atom of another molecule.

The bonds in the compound MgSO4 can be described as?
Both Ionic and Covalent.
What are three principal types of bonds that hold multiple atoms together?
covalent bonds, ionic bonds, and hydorgen bonds
Weak bonds and strong bonds?
stong bonds are ionic bonds and covalent bonds and weak bonds are van der waals bonds and hydrogen bonds.
What are two ways atoms can combine to form compounds?
You can form compounds with ionic bonds, or covalent bonds. Example 1: Salts are bonded together with ionic bonds, such as NaCl or CuCl2. When compounds have ionic bonds it is the electrostatic force between the atoms that bonds them together. Example 2: Inorganic/organic molecules are mostly bonded together with covalent bonding. this means that the atoms share pairs of electrons with each other, and there is a equilibrium between the attractive and repulsive forces between the atoms. CO2, EtOH, H2O all have covalent bonds "holding" the molecule together
What bonds are arranged from strongest to weakest in a biological system?
I don't know if these are the bonds listed in your question, but here is an orderCovalent - ionic - hydrogen(covalent bonds are the strongest, and hydrogen bonds are the weakest bonds)
Why are ionic bonds are generally weaker than covalent bonds?
Actually, ionic bonds are generally much stronger than covalent bonds; except in solution.
Does polonium form ionic or covalent bonds?
Generally covalent compounds.
Which is stronger ionic or covalent?
Covalent bonds are the strongest in an aqueous solution.
Forming ionic or covalent bonds helps make atoms more?
stable
Which element always form ionic compound and covalent bond?
Metals form generally forms ionic bonds as in salts.Carbon form covalent bonds, for ex.
What is the two main type of bonds?
The two main types of chemical bonds are ionic and covalent.
Does BaCl2 have covalent bonds?
Generally a compound between a metal and a nonmetal is considered as an ionic compound but this is not ionic, it is covalent instead.
What are the main types of chemical bonds?
There are three main types of chemical bonds. The main types are; ionic bonding, covalent bonding and polar covalent bonding.
Does neon prefer ionic or covalent bonds?
Neither, Neon is an extremely stable noble gas.
How do atoms in covalent bonds become stable?
by binding ionic atoms with opposite charges that are equal.

Carbon form generally covalent bonds; ionic bonds are rare.
Are ionic or covalent bonds stronger?
Covalent bonds.
