What is the weak attractive forces which exist between water molecules?
almost positive they are Vander waals forces
Why is dioxygen a gas and sulphur is a solid?
oxygen is a gas because it is held together by weak van der waals forces acting between the small molecules sulfur usually forms s8 molecules so the van der waals forces acting between the molecules are lager giving it a higher boiling point
Forces of attraction between molecules of the same kind are called what?
"Intermolecular forces". Which can be of four types:1. Dispersion Forces - http://www.answers.com/topic/van-der-waals-force2. Induced Dipole Interactions, which occur when the polarity of one molecule polarizes another3. Dipole-Dipole Interactions - http://www.answers.com/topic/dipole-dipole-interaction4.

What is the force of attraction between unlike molecules or the attraction between the surfaces of different contacting bodies?
The force of attraction between unlike molecules is known as intermolecular attraction or van der Waals forces. These forces can be categorized as dipole-dipole interactions, hydrogen bonding, or London dispersion forces. The attraction between the surfaces of different contacting bodies is called adhesion and is typically due to intermolecular forces such as van der Waals forces or electrostatic interactions.
What is an intermolecular force that affects all polar molecules?
van der Waals forces
What is the weak attractive forces which exist between water molecules?
almost positive they are Vander waals forces
Attractions between water molecules are called?
"van der waals" forces.
What type of attraction occurs between nonpolar covalent molecules?
In non-polar covalent molecules weak forces exists & are known as Van der Waals' forces

How do van deer Waals forces hold molecules together?
Van der Waals forces are usually considered to includedipole - dipole interactionsdipole- induced dipole interactionsinstantaneous dipole - induced dipole interactions (London dispersion forces)These are electrostatic in nature, and cause an attraction between molecules
The slight attractions that develop between oppositely charged regions of nearby molecules are?
van der Waals forces.
What are attractions between water molecules called?
Dipole-dipole The attraction between two dipoles.
What force holds molecular solids together?
London dispersion forces (also known as van der Waals forces) hold molecular solids together. or Intermolecular forces
What type(s) of intermolecular forces are expected between SF6 molecules?
London Force / van der Waals force
What is the predominant force between IBr molecules in liquid IBr?
The predominant force between IBr molecules in liquid IBr is Van der Waals forces, specifically dipole-dipole interactions and London dispersion forces. These forces are responsible for holding the IBr molecules together in the liquid state.
