an ionic bond is formed when one or more electrons are transferred from one atom to another. when molecules are close together a slight attraction can develop between the oppositely charged regions of nearby molecules, known as van der waals forces.

∙ 13y agoIonic bonds are much stronger than van der Waals forces, which involve temporary sharing of electrons among molecules in a fashion more closely analogous to covalent bonding than to ionic bonding. In normal covalent bonding, however, the electron sharing is permanent until the molecules undergo a chemical change, so that normal covalent bonds are still stronger than van der Waals forces. The main effect of van der Waals forces is to promote condensation and solidification of substances with covalently bonded molecules.

∙ 15y agoBoth ionic bonds and van der Waals forces are usually considered as intermolecular forces or IMF. However, ionic bonds are much stronger than van der Waals forces.

Which intermolecular force would affect melting point the least Ionic bonds Van der Waals forces hydrogen bonding or Dipole-dipole interactions?
Van der Waals forces
How do hydrogen bonds compare with other intermolecular forces?
Hydrogen bonds are stronger than dipole-dipole and Van der Waals forces.
Compare van der Waals Forces ionic bonds and covalent bonds?
First off, we should know what each one is; Covalent bonds are chemical bonds Ionic Bonds are electrical attraction between two oppositely charged atoms or groups Van Der Waals Forces are attractions between the molecules and hold them together So, lets compare them, shall we?Well, we can tell that they are all bonds of some kind or another. And they all have forces attracting them to something else.
Which intermolecular force would affect melting point the least Ionic bonds Van der Waals forces hydrogen bonding or Dipole dipole interactions?
Van der Waals - they're the weakest.
What causes ionic compounds to have high melting point?
Ionic bonds require relatively high energies to be broken compared to the weaker hydrogen bond and van der Waals forces. Ionic compounds will thus have higher melting points than polar and organic compounds of similar molecular weight.
The decreasing order for the relative strengths of chemical bonds?
Covalent, ionic, hydrogen, van der Waals forces

What kind of chemical bond do crystals have?
Ionic compunds which are crystalline- have ionic bonds. Giant covalent can also be crystalline e.g. diamond and silica- these have covalent bonds. Molecular compounds crystallise - these have covalent bonds and the crystals are held together by van der waals forces. and sometimes by hydrogen bonds.
Weak bonds and strong bonds?
stong bonds are ionic bonds and covalent bonds and weak bonds are van der waals bonds and hydrogen bonds.
. Hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces are types of?
Both are intermolecular forces.
Hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces are types of .?
Both are intermolecular forces.
Briefly describe ionic covalent metalic hydrogen and van der waals bonds?
van der waals' forces are a group of relatively weak intermolecular interactions which generally result when a molecule or group of molecules become polarized into a magnetic dipole.
Which kind of bonds are the weakest kind?
The Van der Waals forces are the weakest bond type. They include attractions and repulsions between atoms, molecules, and surfaces, as well as other intermolecular forces. They are names after Dutch scientist Johannes Diderik van der Waals.
