∙ 15y agoAtomic bonds. Basically, the main two types of bonds are covalent and ionic. Covalent bonds occur when electrons from the atoms constituting the solid are constantly being transfered between the different atoms. The atoms never split apart because they are constantly being pulled toward the other atoms in the solid while the electrons are being transfered. In ionic bonding, the electrons stay where they are because the energy levels of one of the atoms is full or half-full, & the atom's electronegativity is strong enough to keep the original atom from taking its electron back. The other atom is attracted to the stealing atom because it tries to get its electron back (electrostatic attraction).

∙ 15y agoOnce they get big enough, gravity holds everything together,
but small stuff (asteroids, etc) must depend on electromotive forces = the ionic force of electrons. This comes in two flavors - regular ionic bonds (rocks, water "ice") and metallic bonds (the sharing of electrons that metals do).
On Earth it's still true, but liquid water (with surface tension) holds lots of odd thing together that would otherwise be dust.

What do dipole dipole forces do?
Hold polar molecules together
What type of interactions hold the molecules together in a polar molecular solid?
Within the molecule it is the covalent bonds which hold the atoms together. The facts that the molecule is polar or that the substance is in the solid state are irrelevant. If you were trying to ask what holds the molecules together to make the solid, then it is dipole-dipole forces and van der Waals forces.
What type of interactions hold the molecules tpgether in a polar molecular solid?
In polar molecular solids' molecules are held together by relatively stronger dipole-dipole interactions.
Why are some atoms or molecules in liquid form and not a solid?
The atoms and molecules in liquids move in a random pattern relative to one another instead of being in a solid form due to the intermolecular forces of attraction. The intermolecular forces are too weak to hold onto the molecules in a solid form.
How do intermolecular forces determine a substance's state?
If the intermolecular forces are great enough they can hold the molecules together as a liquid. If they are even stronger they will hold the molecules together as a solid. Water has nearly the same mass as methane and ammonia molecules, but the greater molecular forces between water molecules causes the water to be liquid at room temperature, while ammonia and methane, with weaker intermolecular forces, are gases at room temperature.

What is an fact about solids?
A solid can hold its shape because the molecules hold together and vibrate in place.

Are the molecules in coffee bonded?
In any solid the particles have bonds holding the atoms together into molecules, and bonds (or forces) holding the molecules together to form the solid.
What type of interactions hold the molecules tpgether in a polar molecular solid?
In polar molecular solids' molecules are held together by relatively stronger dipole-dipole interactions.
Why are molecules closer when its a solid?
molecules that start closing together turn into solid example: think of water, when molecules are loose the water is liquid but when the molecules are packed together the water turns into ice
What charateristics of molecules are packed together?
solid
Why are some atoms or molecules in liquid form and not a solid?
The atoms and molecules in liquids move in a random pattern relative to one another instead of being in a solid form due to the intermolecular forces of attraction. The intermolecular forces are too weak to hold onto the molecules in a solid form.
In which state of matter are the molecules of water bunched together?
Water molecules bunch together in the state of a solid.
An ionic bond is the force holding molecules together?
Ionic bonds do not hold molecules together all the time. Covalent bonds can also hold molecules together, so it isn't just ionic bonds that do that.
Are molecules close together in a liquid?
molecules are closer together in a liquid than a gas but further apart than in a solid
