Why are covalent bonds stronger than the electricalatraction between two neighboring molecules?

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.

What is stronger the covalent bonds that holds atoms together within a molecule or the electrical attraction between two neighboring molecules?
Covalent bonds will always be stronger then an dipole or charge attraction between molecules.
What is stronger a triple covalent bond or a single covalent bond?
A triple bond is stronger.
Is a covalent bond stronger than a polar covalent bond?
== ==Yes, a covalent bond is stronger than a polar bond.
Are ionic or covalent bonds stronger?
Covalent bonds.
Why are covalent bonds typically much stronger than intermolecular forces?
Well, a crystal is solid. If you mean, are ionic bonds stronger than covalent bonds, then the answer would be almost always. With a few exceptions, the ionic bond has a greater intermolecular force than a covalent bond. One exception might be a diamond and a weak ionic compound like RbBr.

Is ionic bond is stronger than covalent?
No, covalent is stronger
What is stronger a covalent or a polar covalent?
Polar Covalent.
Why is ionc compounds stronger than covalent compounds?
By stronger, I am guessing you meant " stronger intermolecular forces ". Ionic compounds do not necessarily have stronger intermolecular forces than covalent compounds. For example, it is true that NaCl(an ionic compound) has strong electrostatic attractions while H2O(a covalent compound) has very weak London forces. However, SiO2 is a giant covalent compound, and has very strong covalent bonds between molecules, even stronger than the electrostatic forces of NaCl.
What is stronger a triple covalent bond or a single covalent bond?
A triple bond is stronger.

Which is stronger ionic or covalent?
Covalent bonds are the strongest in an aqueous solution.
what has higher melting points ionic or covalent compounds?
Ionic compounds have higher melting points because the bond olding the ionic crystal together is stronger than the intermolecular forces (van der Waals) holding covalent molecules together. Giant covalent molecules such as dialmond and silicon dioxide have very high melting points because the lattice is held together by stong covalent bonds
Is a coordinate covalent bond stronger than a covalent bond?
Coordinate covalent bonds are neither stronger nor weaker than regular covalent bonds. They behave just the same way.
Which is stronger a Dipole-dipole attraction or covalent bond?
covalent bond.
