Geckos can walk up walls and hang from ceilings, apparently from glass as well. This is now known to be due to the interaction of extremely small projections on the toes with the surfaces via London dispersion forces. To the gecko London dispersion forces are indeed advamtageous.

Are covalent bonds considered to be a weak molecular interaction?
Covalent bonds, they are stronger than the rest of the options.
What is mean by ionic And covalent bond?
A covalent bonding is a common type of bonding in which the electronegetivity is lees then 1.7 e and in ionic bonding there is interaction between electronegetive atoms which has large electronegatinity which is greater than 1.7e.
Is there more than one species of gecko?
There are well over 1300 different species of gecko.
Is a covalent bond stronger than a polar covalent bond?
== ==Yes, a covalent bond is stronger than a polar bond.
Why is it advantageous for astronauts to live on a space station rather than in a space shuttle?

How is interaction of atoms and their electrons different in a covalent bond than an ionic bond?
In a covalent bond the electrons are shared between the elements to form an octet. However, in an ionic bond the metal gives up its electron in order to have a perfect octet and the nonmetal takes the electron in order to have a perfect octet.
Is ionic bond is stronger than covalent?
No, covalent is stronger
Is a coordinate covalent bond stronger than a covalent bond?
Coordinate covalent bonds are neither stronger nor weaker than regular covalent bonds. They behave just the same way.
Is a single covalent bond stronger than a double covalent bond?
No
Are covalent bonds more soluble than ionic bonds?
ionic compounds are more soluble than covalent.
Do geckos eat rolli pollis?
no do not feed your gecko anything other than food you get at the pet store
Hydrogen bondis a strong fixed force?
A hydrogen bond is the attractive interaction of a hydrogen atom with an electronegative atom, like nitrogen , oxygen or fluorine (thus the name "hydrogen bond", which must not be confused with a covalent bond to hydrogen). The hydrogen is covalently bonded to another electronegative atom. The energy of a hydrogen bond (typically 5 to 30 kJ/mole) is comparable to that of weak covalent bonds (155 kJ/mol), and a typical covalent bond is only 20 times stronger than an intermolecular hydrogen bond. These bonds can occur between molecules (intermolecularly), or within different parts of a single molecule (intramolecularly). [2] The hydrogen bond is stronger than a van der Waals interaction , but weaker than covalent , or ionic bonds . This type of bond occurs in both inorganic molecules such as water and organic molecules such as DNA.
