Which are the strongest interactions between molecules

Hydrogen bonds are the strongest, which are possible only between H and F, O or N because of the difference in electronegativity; then, permanent dipole-permanent dipole interactions come second as they form between a slightly positive species and a slightly negative species. Instantaneous dipole-induced dipole interactions are the weakest as they are only formed by the probability of electrons being at a certain place in the shells.
