Which bonds are held together by intermolecular forces?
ConnerSuttongp3262
These are usually called "van der Waals" bonds. Some of the strongest of these types of bonds occur between hydrogen atoms attached by chemical bonds to a particular other atom in the same molecule but also attracted by electron-rich areas on other molecules in their vicinity, and these are often called "hydrogen bonds."

What are the strongest intermolecular forces found in the noble gases?
Intermolecular forces are strongest in the solid phase. This is because the atoms/molecules are at the closet possible distance without repulsion occurring; the van der Waals contact distance.
What holds atom together in a molecule?
Chemical bond
What is adenine and guanine held together with?
The Cytosine, Guanine, Adenine and Thymine bases present in DNA are molecules that are held together by intermolecular hydrogen bonds. This bond occurs between an electronegative atom (known as a hydrogen bond acceptor) and a hydrogen atom attached to another electronegative atom (known as a hydrogen bond donor).
What is a group of two or more atoms that is held together by bonds.?
This is a molecule.
What is molecular solvation?
A molecular solid is a crystalline solid held together by intermolecular forces and composed of discrete molecules held together by van der Waals interactions. This type of solid can be contrasted with metallic solids and covalent solids, which are held together by stronger bonds.As one would expect based on the aforementioned information, molecular solids tend to be melted or sublimated at lower temperatures than other types of solids, because of their weak intermolecular bonding.
Why are fluorine atoms held together in a fluorine molecule?
intermolecular forces
Adjacent water molecules are held together by bonds?
The intermolecular force that hold together adjacent water molecules are hydrogen bonds. Hydrogen bonds are the strongest type of intermolecular forces, but it is still relatively weak compared to ionic and covalent bonds. Hydrogen bonds occur because of the large difference between hydrogen atoms and the highly electronegative atoms such as F, N and O.
What force holds compounds together?
bonds hold compounds together. Depending on the type of compound, different bonds are used. For example NaCl (sodium chloride) which is commonly referred to as table salt is held together by an ionic bond.
What type of bond holds a human being together?
Humans are held together mainly by intermolecular attraction rather than actual chemical bonds. The substances within the human body are mostly held together by covalent bonds.
Why boiling point is low when intermolecular forces are weak?
Molecules that have strong intermolecular forces are held together more strongly. In order for a substance to boil, it's molecules must separate and gain energy. Because molecules with stronger intermolecular forces are held together more strongly it takes more energy to move them apart, hence the higher boiling point
Is an apple a compound or mixture?
An apple is a mixture of many various compounds held together by Intermolecular forces
Why are covalent networks insoluble in all common solvents?
Solubilty is due to a mechanism of solvation which "overcomes" the intermolecular or interionic attractions. Large covalent means tha the solid is held together by strong covalent bonds and that there are no small molecules where the solid form is held together by either disperiosn forces, dipole-diple , or hydrogen bonds.
What type of intermolecular forces is I2?
An iodine molecule is held together by covalent bonds
What are the strongest intermolecular forces found in the noble gases?
Intermolecular forces are strongest in the solid phase. This is because the atoms/molecules are at the closet possible distance without repulsion occurring; the van der Waals contact distance.
What is the difference between elastomer and fiber?
The major difference difference arises on the basis of the forces... In Elastomers, the polymer chains are held together by weakest intermolecular forces while in fibers, the intermolecular forces are strong like hydrogen bonding.
What structures is held together by hydrogen bonds?
Hydrogen bonds are strong intermolecular forces- weaker than covalent bonds that hold the molecules together. The diagram probaly shows molecules with otted lines from H atoms to an O or N aatom on an adjacent molecule.
What type of solid is SF2?
SF2 is a molecular solid. It is a nonpolar molecule held together through london dispersion intermolecular forces.
