What is stronger the covalent bonds that holds atoms together within a molecule or the electrical attraction between two neighboring molecules?

The covalent bonds that hold atoms together within a molecule are generally stronger than the electrical attractions between neighboring molecules. Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms, while intermolecular forces like Van der Waals interactions or hydrogen bonding are weaker interactions that occur between separate molecules.


Which kind of force is a dipole- dipole force?

Intermolecular attraction


At sea level water boils at 100 degrees Celsius while methane boils at negative 161 degrees Celsius Which has a stronger attraction between particles?

Water has a stronger attraction between its particles compared to methane. This is evident in the higher boiling point of water, as the stronger intermolecular forces require more energy to break the bonds between water molecules. Methane, being a lighter molecule, has weaker intermolecular forces which results in a lower boiling point.


How do you determine which molecule has a higher boiling point?

Compounds with Hydrogen bonds (Hydrogen bonded to N,O or F) will tend to have stronger bonds thus a higher BP, then the compounds with a stronger polarity determine bond strength, and finally dispersion forces (Molecular mass) So in conclusion if you have ex. HF and CO2 HF has a higher BP because it has a stronger bond than CO2 (it has a hydrogen bond, while CO2's strongest bond is a polar bond)


Does water or methane have a stronger force of attraction between its particles?

Water is a polar molecule whereas methane is a non-polar molecule.The intra- molecular force in water molecule is much stronger compared top the intra- molecular force between a carbon and a hydrogen in methane.Water molecule have hydrogen bonding as its intra molecular force.Hydrogen bonding is the strongest, then comes dipole-dipole and the least strong is the London dispersion force.The molecular bonding of water is higher than that of methane (binding energy), and the intermolecular bonding of water is higher than that of methane (boiling point).

Would a large body of water molecules have a stronger attraction to fewer molecules?

A large body of water molecules would typically not have a stronger attraction to fewer molecules. It would however attempt to pull smaller molecules toward it.


Which intermolecular force is the weakest?

If you are asking about bonds of attraction between separate molecules, there are two kinds: dipole-dipole attraction and London dispersion force attraction. Dipole-dipole attraction is the stronger of the two, because the molecules in this case are polar, meaning that electrons are more often clustered at certain spots on the molecule and rarified at the opposite end, resulting in a greater charge on both ends (London dispersion forces are the weak forces of attraction between nonpolar molecules during random, fleeting moments of polarization). These forces are not to be confused with ionic attraction (which is attraction between ions, not molecules) and covalent bonds (which are the forces holding the individual atoms in a molecule together), both of which are stronger than any intermolecular force of attraction (with covalent bonding being the strongest of all bonds at the chemical as opposed to the nuclear level). Keep in mind, though, that the exact strength of attraction varies depending on the electronegativities of the different atoms in the molecule (but the weakest polar molecular bonds are, by definition, stronger than the strongest nonpolar molecular bonds).

Does ethylene glycol molecules have a greater attraction for cyclopentane than for each other?

No, ethylene glycol molecules have a much stronger attraction for each other due to hydrogen bonding, compared to their attraction for non-polar molecules like cyclopentane. This is due to the polar nature of the ethylene glycol molecule, which forms strong intermolecular forces with other ethylene glycol molecules.


What is the difference between a chemical symbol and a chemical bond?

A chemical symbol represents an element on the periodic table, such as "H" for hydrogen or "O" for oxygen. A chemical bond is a force that holds atoms together in a molecule. Chemical symbols are used to identify elements, while chemical bonds describe the interactions between atoms in a compound.


Is the force of attraction stronger in the molecules of a solid or liquid?

The force of attraction is generally stronger in the molecules of a solid compared to a liquid. In a solid, the molecules are closely packed and have limited movement, allowing for stronger intermolecular forces to hold them together. In a liquid, the molecules have more freedom to move, resulting in weaker intermolecular forces.


What determines the strength of a dipole - dipole force?

What affect the strength of attraction between molecules?

The strength of attraction between molecules is influenced by factors including the types of intermolecular forces present (such as hydrogen bonding, dipole-dipole interactions, or van der Waals forces), the molecular shape and size, and the polarity of the molecules. Stronger intermolecular forces result in higher attraction between molecules.
