What else can I help you with?
What is stronger the covalent bonds that holds atoms together within a molecule or the electrical attraction between two neighboring molecules?
The covalent bonds that hold atoms together within a molecule are generally stronger than the electrical attractions between neighboring molecules. Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms, while intermolecular forces like Van der Waals interactions or hydrogen bonding are weaker interactions that occur between separate molecules.
Do hydrocarbons have a charge?
Hydrocarbons do not have a charge because they are made up of carbon and hydrogen atoms, which have neutral charges.
Is a diatomic molecule more likely to be held together by a covalent bond or ionic bond?
diatomic molecules are made up of two atoms. These two atoms can either be the same of different chemical elements. Depending on what elements are in place well that depends on what kind of bonding. For example in class i learned that a homo-nuclear diatomic molecule is non-polar and covalent.
Carbon bonding is almost entirely what?
Carbon based molecules are part of the family of compounds known as organic. Carbon bonding to other atoms is almost always of covalent nature; electrons are shared.
Why are covalent bonds typically much stronger than intermolecular forces?
Well, a crystal is solid. If you mean, are ionic bonds stronger than covalent bonds, then the answer would be almost always. With a few exceptions, the ionic bond has a greater intermolecular force than a covalent bond. One exception might be a diamond and a weak ionic compound like RbBr.
What type of chemical bond occurs between the positively charged end of one polar covalent molecule and the negatively chged end of anothor polar covalent molecule?
Bonds that occur between covalently bonded molecules are known as hydrogen bonds. Hydrogen bonds are so named for the fact that these bonds almost always involve hydrogen. Water is a good example of hydrogen bonding. The slightly positive hydrogen ends of water molecules are attracted to the slightly negative oxygen ends. This attraction pulls water molecules very close together. It is the reason that liquid water is more dense than solid water (ice), wherein the molecules are fixed in a crystalline formation, and cannot undergo hydrogen bonding.
Is Be O ionic or covalent?
ionic, beryllium is a metal and oxygen is a non metal... metal and non metal are always ionic bonding
Why is it that diatomic molecules always form nonpolar covalent bonds?
Diatomic molecules have the same electronegativity, leading to equal sharing of electrons and a symmetric distribution of charge around the molecule. This balanced sharing results in nonpolar covalent bonds.
Does covalent compounds always form molecules?
No. Some compounds form covalent networks, in which each atom is colvalently bonded with at least 2 adjacent atoms. An example of a covalent network compound is silicon dioxide (SiO2), or silica. In SiO2 each silicon atom is bonded to four oxygen atoms and each oxygen atom is bonded to 2 silicon atoms.
How are molecules joined together?
Gaseous molecules are always in continuous random motion so they collide with each other if they are of different elements or compounds and are properly oriented then their effective collisions may produce another substance or they may undergo the chemical reactions.
In an aqueous solution what are hydrogen ions always joined to?
Water molecules are joined by hydrogen bonds; water is a polar covalent molecule.
Is it possible to have a 100 percent covalent bond?
No, it is not possible to have a 100 percent covalent bond. Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms, which means there is always some degree of electron sharing rather than a complete transfer of electrons. This sharing results in a partial overlap of electron clouds between the bonding atoms.
