Which is correct?

1) CH3OH > CaS > NF3 > NaF > NaCl > h-bond > F2 > He

or

2) CH3OH > CaS > NaF > NaCl > NF3 > H-bond > F2 > He

or

3) dfifferent sequence

Shouldn't H-bond be the strongest? unless you are just talking about H2?
 
F2>NF3>CH3OH>NaF>NaCl>CaS>H-bond>He

covalent>ionic>hydrogen bonds

I don't really understand what you mean by He? He by itself?
 
F2>NF3>CH3OH>NaF>NaCl>CaS>H-bond>He

covalent>ionic>hydrogen bonds

I don't really understand what you mean by He? He by itself?
He as in Helium gas.

Isn't F2 a vanderwaal since there is no dipole moment amongst the 2 F?

Isn't the CaS greater than NaF since it is -2 and +2 so it's 2x2 = 4 in strength which is greater than NaF which is 1x1.

yea I know He is as in helium gas...but by itself? what kind of bond it has?

F2 has covalent bond

Both CaS & NaF are ionic bonds. Since F is more electronegative than S, I think it will have higher bond strength.

could you tell me how you arranged first three? F2, NF3, and CH3OH?
and also, is CH3OH covalent? how?
