No, Van Der Walls forces are just interactions based on the statistical distribution of molecular electrons and are not very strong at all. Google Gecko and Van Der Waals forces.

How do hydrogen bonds compare with other intermolecular forces?

Hydrogen bonds are stronger than dipole-dipole and Van der Waals forces.


Are van der waals forces weaker than chemical bonds?

Van der Waal's bonds are the weakest of the types of intermolecular bonds.


How are ionic bonds and van der waals forces similar?

an ionic bond is formed when one or more electrons are transferred from one atom to another. when molecules are close together a slight attraction can develop between the oppositely charged regions of nearby molecules, known as van der waals forces.


The decreasing order for the relative strengths of chemical bonds?

Covalent, ionic, hydrogen, van der Waals forces

Compare van der Waals Forces ionic bonds and covalent bonds?

First off, we should know what each one is; Covalent bonds are chemical bonds Ionic Bonds are electrical attraction between two oppositely charged atoms or groups Van Der Waals Forces are attractions between the molecules and hold them together So, lets compare them, shall we?Well, we can tell that they are all bonds of some kind or another. And they all have forces attracting them to something else.


What chemical bond is weakest?

These are the Van der Waals bonds.


What is the weakest chemical bond?

Hydrogen bonding. Perhaps Van der Waal's forces could be included as weak bonds.


Why are hydrogen bonds between HF molecules stronger than those between HBr and HI and HCl molecules?

I think it's because HF forms hydrogen bonds, that are stronger than other Van der Waals's forces - other molecules form weaker molecular bonds.


Which intermolecular forces affect amino acid?

Peptide bonds, disulfide bonds, hydrogen bonds, Van der Waals forces, electrostatic attractions and repulsions, and hydrophilic/hydrophobic interactions.
