are hydrocarbons held togther by ionic or hydrogen bonds? also, are they hydrophic? polar or non polar?

The C's and H's of hydrocarbons are held together by covalent bonds. Molecules of hydrocarbons are held together by van der Waals forces. In water environments, hydrophobic bonds.

a) Ionic b) Covalent c) Ionic d) Covalent e) Covalent f) Hydrogen (I think,it doesn't feel right though,but ionic and covalent don't make sense either) g) Hydrogen h) Hydrogen Not 100% sure on the last three but I do recall the HyFON rule and since it's Hydrogen and Oxygen I'm almost certain that they're Hydrogen bonds

hydrocarbons are held by hydrogen bonds they are not ionic bonds. acetate is polar a lot of hydrocarbons are not polar. natural gas is not polar.

they are held by covalent bonds and sometimes hydrogen bonds. they are hydrophobic and non-polar.
