the bonds that hold nucleotides together are Phosphodiester bonds...
and hydrogen bonds attach the bases with the rest structure..
phosphodiester  bonds are  strong covalent bonds...... :)

False. 
With in a single strand of DNA, the nucleotides are connected to the adjacent nucleotides with the help of phospho diester bonds.
The nucleotides of the two complimentary strands of a DNA are connected to each other with the help of Hydrogen bonds.
Both phosphodiester and hydrogen bonds are covalent in nature.
Hence, the given statement is false.
