Ionic bonds create stronger intermolecular attraction than covalent bonds do; that is why rocks are harder than plastic.

What can you say about the relative strength of the intermolecular forces in the two compounds?
The intermolecular forces in acetone are weaker.
What is the type of intermolecular forces in Cl2Co?
The intermolecular forces are ionic for CoCl2 cobalt chloride. For COCl2 Phosgene they are polar covalent.
Which is stronger intramolecular or intermolecular force in the case of covalent bond?
intramolecular forces are hard to break as compared to intermolecular forces.
Ionic metallic and covalent bonds are examples of what type of forces?
intermolecular forces
What type of force is a covalent bond?
Dispersion forces
What interaction is not a type of intermolecular force?
Intramolecular forces are not intermolecular forces !

Ionic metallic and covalent bonds are examples of what type of forces?
intermolecular forces
What is a sentence for intermolecular force?
Intermolecular forces shown by the dotted lines not by strong covalent bonds.
What type of force is a covalent bond?
Dispersion forces
What is the intermolecular forces in paraffin?
a lipid. Also known as a wax.
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.
How do hydrogen bounds compare with other intermolecular forces?
Hydrogen bonds are much stronger than other intermolecular forces.
What types of intermolecular forces exist in molecules NO?
NO has a covalent bond. Electrons are shared.
Does boiling water break covalent bonds?
No, it only overcomes intermolecular forces.
