ionic bond>covalant bond>metallic bond>itermolecular forces.
Ionic bond is the electrostatic force between the ions which constitute the molecule.
The covalant bond is due to the sharing of electrons between the atoms.
The metallic bond is due to electrostatic interaction between the positively charged kernels and the electrons.
The intermolecular forces is due to keesom forces or london dispersion forces or the ion dipole interactions.

Ionic Bond>Covalent Bond>Metallic bond>Inter Molecular Forces. WHile co-ordinate covalent bond is stronger than covalent bond. The hydrogen bonds are weak bonds and give rise to intermolecular forces in molecules like ethanol.

First off, you must understand that the sole determination of the strength of a bond is due to the strength of its intermolecular forces. The intermolecular forces are in turn affected by the difference in Electronegative Energey or abbreviated as EN. Anyway, it is ordered as such:
Ionic, Metallic, and Covalent.

Ionic as the strongest then downhill from there...

Also, there is another bond your forgetting.... You'll knock the socks of anyone (speaking as a physical chemist) ... Van Der Waals . Least strong, occurs in nature frequently

Your chemistry book should have this information in it very clearly. Please take the time to look up this information. If someone tells you this answer outright, you will not understand or remember it for your test. This is not the type of question that requires explaining . . . it requires effort.
