∙ 14y agoAtoms are not held togetherinternally by covalent attraction, but instead by the so-called "strong force" of quantum theory. However, two or more atoms can be held together in molecules by covalent attraction.
In non-polar covalent molecules weak forces exists & are known as Van der Waals' forces
A bond between two or more polar covalent molecules is called a Dipole-Dipole attraction (or interaction).
The type of bond that usually occurs between molecules is the hydrogen bond. It is the result of an attraction between two electronegative atoms involving a hydrogen atom between them.
Question #7 is indeed True!
Small covalent molecules have a weak force of attraction.
The attraction is: A POLAR COVALENT BOND

Question #7 is indeed True!
When molecules are close together, a slight attraction can develop between the oppositely charged regions of nearby molecules. Chemists call such intermolecular forces of attraction van der Waals forces. (This also occurs in the phenomenon known as Hydrogen-bonding.) What is the alternate of a slight attraction - it is called the covalent bond. Note that an ionic bond is a type of covalent bond.
A covalent bond is a chemical bond formed by the sharing of electrons within the molecule. Attractions between molecules are relatively weak because there is no formation of a chemical bond.
Covalent bonding involves two or more atoms sharing electrons. Coordinate covalent bonding is just an attraction that molecules have for other molecules based on the asymmetrical distribution of electrons in those molecules, creating negatively charged and positively charged regions (and hence, an attraction between the negatively charged regions of one molecule and the positively charged regions of another molecule).
adhesion is the attraction which allows molecules of different kinds of matter to stick together!
Molecules are covalent.
