intermolecular forces examples are dispersion forces
Bonds hold atoms together. There are hydrogen bonds, ionic bonds, and covalent bonds.
Covalent bonds
generally covalent bonding
Covalent bonds
Non polar bond between the two hydrogen atoms.
A container is able to hold water because the container's atoms are bonded closer together than each water molecule's total size. This prevents the water molecules from sliding out between the container's atoms, thereby holding the water inside.
The bonds are ionic or covalent.
Covalent bonds
No, they do not hold two compounds together. The forces that hold compounds together are intermolecular forces. Ionic and covalent bonds are intramolecular forces, and they hold the atoms of the molecule or formula unit together.
Electrostatic attraction for electron pairs hold atoms together. When atoms bond into a molecule, they share electrons, each contributing one electron to a pair. Since the nuclei of the atoms are positive and the electrons are negative, both nuclei are attracted to the shared pair, and stay near each other.
Covalent bonds hold atoms together. Ionic bonds hold ions together
Yes sometimes, that is how covalent bonds are formed.
