Van der waals forces are stronger than chemical bonds?

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.

Van der Waals - they're the weakest.


Is HE2 a van der waals?

He2 is a molecule where the bonding is only due to van der waals interactions as the molecular orbital diagram shows that both the bonding and antibonding sigma orbitals are full.

What type of connection is a weak bond between molecules?

Weak bonds help to determine and stabilize the shapes of molecules. I onic bonds, hydrogen bonds, and van der Waals interactions are considered weak bonds.


How was the van der Waals force formed?

Van der Waals forces are weak intermolecular/inter atomic forces. Differentiated from covalent bonding, interionic attraction and hydrogen bondsThey are electrostatic forces due todipole dipole interactions (actually permanent multipoles)dipole -induced dipole interactionsinstantaneous dipole interactions (London dispersion forces- these are sometimes separated from Van der Waals)Sometimes intermolecular repulsion is included and these are due to Pauli exclusion principle.
