Vedclass · Answer

(B) Diamond consists of a network of strong covalent bonds.In potassium chloride $(KCl)$,there is a strong electrostatic ionic bond.In ice,water molecules are held together by hydrogen bonds.In solid neon,the atoms are held together by weak van der Waals forces (London dispersion forces).Comparing the strength of these interactions,the order is: $Ionic > Covalent > Hydrogen > 	ext{Van der Waals}$.Thus,solid neon has the weakest bond.
