What type of bond exists between two H atoms?

The bonds that exist between 2 H atoms are covalent bonds, and also Hydrogenbonds. Hydrogenbonds are very strong intermolecular forces.


What are non covalent forces?

A non-covalent bond is one that shares electrons between two atoms.


Why covalent compound is insoluble in water?

The bonds between the atoms are too strong


Is the force of attraction between molecules weak or strong?

Covalent bonds are pretty weak compared to the other type of bond, which is the ionic bond.


What is hydrogen peroxide held together by?

Hydrogen peroxide has covalent bonds between the atoms. The atoms are held together by those covalent bonds. There are van der Waals and dipole-dipole forces between the molecules.


What is a force that holds together the atoms substance?

Metal atoms are held together by strong Electrostatic forces that make metals typically strong and solid. Non metals are held together by ether Covalent bonds between two non metals, Ionic bonds between a metal and a non metal.


What is a force holds together the atoms in a substance?

Metal atoms are held together by strong Electrostatic forces that make metals typically strong and solid. Non metals are held together by ether Covalent bonds between two non metals, Ionic bonds between a metal and a non metal.


What is the difference in strength between atoms with ionic bonds and atoms with covalent bonds?

ionic bonds have strong bonds and molecular bonds have very strong bonds.


What type of bond is a strong chemical bond between the atoms of each water molecule?

covalent


What is the difference between molecular structures and giant structures?

Molecular structure - just a few atoms bonded together, weak intermolecular forcesGiant molecular structure - covalent bonds, each atom forms a few bonds so there are lots of atoms in each molecule, strong forces between atoms.


Are there differences between covalent bonding and covalent compound?

Covalent compounds and molecular compounds are the same thing if I recalled correctly, just different terms of calling it. And covalent bonds are the bonds formed by the sharing of electrons between two atoms, and they are the strong forces of attraction WITHIN the molecule.Please do not get it mixed up with the weak van der Waals' forces that is found BETWEEN molecules and is caused by a temporary shift of electrons to one side of the molecule, resulting in a slightly positive/negative end.


What is and intramolecular force?

An intramolecular force is any force that holds together the atoms making up a molecule or compound. There are three main types of intramolecular forces: - Ionic -Covalent - Metallic Ionic Intramolecular forces These forces exist between atoms of ionic compounds (molecules formed by transfer of electrons). It is the force of attraction between the cation (positively charged atom) and anion (negatively charged atom) in a molecule. Covalent intramolecular forces These forces exist between covalent compounds (molecules formed by sharing of electrons). It is the force of attraction between the bonded pair od electrons with the nucleii of the the two atoms
