I'm having trouble ranking the following (strongest to weakest):

I. H-bond
II. Dipole-Dipole
III. London Dispersion Forces
IV. Dipole-Induced
V. Ion-Dipole


Is IV stronger than V?


Thanks

no, V is the strongest of all the IMF's.

from weakest to strongest you have:

london / dispersion

induced dipole

dipole dipole

H bonding

Ion dipole


Ion diplole is strongest because there is the most separation of charge.
