van der waals' forces are a group of relatively weak intermolecular interactions which generally result when a molecule or group of molecules become polarized into a magnetic dipole.

What is one different between a metallic bond and a covalent bond?

One key difference is that metallic bonds involve a sharing of electrons among a lattice of metal atoms, leading to a "sea" of delocalized electrons, whereas covalent bonds involve a sharing of electrons between two specific atoms.


What are the three types of bonds that can form when two atoms share electrons?

The three types of bonds that can form when two atoms share electrons are covalent bonds, polar covalent bonds, and nonpolar covalent bonds. In covalent bonds, electrons are shared equally between atoms; in polar covalent bonds, electrons are shared unequally leading to partial charges; in nonpolar covalent bonds, electrons are shared equally leading to no charge difference.


Which ionic compound contains only non-metalic elements?

Hydrogen chloride (HCl) is an ionic compound made up of non-metallic elements. Hydrogen is a non-metal and chlorine is also a non-metal. When combined, hydrogen gains an electron from chlorine to form the ionic bond.


What kind of bond that exists between two non metalic elements?

A covalent bond typically exists between two non-metallic elements. In a covalent bond, the atoms share electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration without transferring them. This sharing of electrons results in a strong bond that holds the atoms together.


Is tourmaline metallic or nonmetallic?

Tourmaline is nonmetallic. It is a mineral that belongs to the silicate group and is known for its wide range of colors, such as black, pink, green, and blue.

Is hydrogen nonmetal or metal?

Hydrogen is a non-metalic gas. It is sometimes described as a metaloid.At very very low temperatures and very very high pressures hydrogen has all the properties of a metal, so is commonly considered to be a metal in these very unusual conditions.
