The force of attraction is between the electrons and the nuclei on opposite atoms within a molecule.

∙ 11y ago
The force that attracts covalent bonds is the sharing of electron pairs between atoms. This sharing allows the atoms to achieve a more stable electron configuration. The shared electrons are attracted to the positively charged nuclei of both atoms, forming a strong bond.

What force keeps atoms that share electrons joined?
Covalent bonds
Is covalent bonds a type of intermolecular force?
No. A covalent bond acts solely within a molecule.An intermolecular force acts between two or more separate molecules
Do noble gases have a weak intermolecular force?
The covalent bond is an intramolecular bond.An example of compound having covalent bonds is carbon dioxide - CO2.
What is the two main type of bonds?
The two main types of chemical bonds are ionic and covalent.
Is ethyl methyl ketone covalent bonded?
The bonds in ethyl methyl ketone are covalent.
Is a type of intramolecular force?
covalent bonds
Is hydrogen covalent bonds?
Hydrogen bonds and covalent bonds are two completely different things. Covalent bonds share an electron, while hydrogen bonds (just for water molecules) act like magnets- the Oxygen atom has a slight negative charge and it "attracts" the Hydrogen atoms, which have a slight positive charge.
Which interaction is not a type of intermolecular force?
Covalent bonds
What is the intermolecular force of octasulfur?
The bonds in octasulfur are covalent.
What is the intermolecular attraction of covalent bonds?
Small covalent molecules have a weak force of attraction.
What force of attraction that holds two atoms together?
There are two: Ionic Bonds, and Covalent Bonds
What force keeps atoms that share electrons joined?
Covalent bonds
How covalent bonding works?
When atoms share electrons, as they do in covalent bonds, it creates a force that holds the atoms together.
Does bromine-bromine have polar covalent bonds or non-polar covalent bonds?
Any two identical atoms must necessarily have non-polar bonds. Polarity is caused by differences in electronegativity between the atoms (in other words, one atom attracts electrons more than the other).
Is covalent bonds a type of intermolecular force?
No. A covalent bond acts solely within a molecule.An intermolecular force acts between two or more separate molecules
What are the different types of chemical bonds?
Ionic bonds, Covalent bonds, Hydrogen bonds, Polar Covalent bonds, Non-Polar Covalent bonds, and Metallic bonds.
Which force binds different molecules of sugar together in a sugar crystal?
covalent bonds.
