Van der Waals forces are the weakest attractions between molecules.

∙ 11y agoYes,one would expect that since molecules are held together by strong electreostatic forcce,which is not hard to break,on the other hand,non polar substances would be held by van der waal and others as such,hence weak mutual attraction

The forces of attraction between molecules in a molecular compound are generally?
force of attraction between molecules in solid is very great due to strong cohesive force holding them together
Are polar molecules stronger than non- polar molecules?
Yes. In polar bonds, electrons between atoms are shared unequally. The more electronegative atom has a high electron affinity, pulling the shared electron (and ajacent atom) closer to it, creating a shorter, stronger bond.
What are the main type of interaction between molecules of H2O.?
In a singular water molecule, the Hydrogen and Oxygen are bonded covalently.However, in addition to this, water molecules show cohesion. That is, they stick to each other as a delta (small) electric attraction is produced. These weak, intermolecular bonds are called Hydrogen bonds.
Why do molecular solids have lower boiling points than ionic solids?
In the liquid the intermolecular forces between covalent molecules are weaker than the forces between ions.
What are the intermolecular forces of glycerol?
Glycerol have hydrogen bonds,but this intermolecular forces are slightly weaker than in water
What is the process the H2o molecules undergo when it changes from gas to liquid?
The attraction of deestablished electrons between them becomes much weaker, almost nonexistent.
The forces of attraction between molecules in a molecular compound are generally?
force of attraction between molecules in solid is very great due to strong cohesive force holding them together
What happens to the force of attraction as distance grows between magnetic forces?
the force of attraction get weaker the more the distance grows between magnetic fields
Do polar compounds have stronger or weaker attractions between molecules?
Polar compounds have stronger attractions between molecules.
What type of bond do H2O contain?
The bonds between H-O atoms are polar bonds (polar-covalent) angled in about 105o. But the intermolecular attraction between two or more molecules of water result in weaker hydrogen bonds.
Why is there less gravity on the moon than earth?
Gravity is the attraction between masses. And since the moon has less mass than earth, the gravity is weaker there. Over a distance gravity is weaker.
Why the gravity on moon is less than gravity on earth?
Gravity is the attraction between masses. And since the moon has less mass than earth, the gravity is weaker there. Over a distance gravity is weaker.
Is the force of attraction greater or less when the distance between two objects is far?
All attractive forces, gravitational, coulombic, and magnetic vary as the square of the distance between two objects. Thus, as the distance increases, the force between them becomes much weaker and weaker.
Is the Moon's gravitional pull stronger or weaker than the earths?
The moons gravitational attraction is weaker as the moon is smaller
Why are Adjacent water molecules connected by?
Its a weaker bond than covalent or ionic bonding. Its call Hydrogen Bonding. Do to the configuration of H20 positive and negative charges occur on the molecule. So specific areas such as the oxygen(w/ a slight negative charge) will attract to a hydrogen(w/ a slight positive charge) on a different H20 molecule. You can observer this phenomenon by observing that water has a surface tension.
Why do liquids take up the shape but gas fills the container?
The intermolecular forces between gas molecules are weaker.
Is Hydrogen bonding is a strong attractive force.?
Not particlarly it is weaker than the electrostaic attraction between ions but is the strongest of the intermolecular forces.
