It's called dipole interaction. A dipole is a polar molecule, or one with a positive end and a negative end (due to different numbers of unpaired electrons.) When a bunch of dipoles get together, the whole "opposites attract" thing happens, and the positive end of one molecules says "how ya doin'" to the negative end of another molecule. Multiplied over billions and billions of times, and it becomes a measurable force within a substance which can explain certain physical properties of that substance.

Are ionic bonds intermolecular or intramolecular in nature?

Ionic bonds are considered intramolecular in nature because they form within a single molecule by the attraction between positively and negatively charged ions.


What is Ionic attraction?

Ionic attraction is the electrostatic force of attraction between positively and negatively charged ions. This attraction occurs when a positively charged ion (cation) is attracted to a negatively charged ion (anion), resulting in the formation of an ionic bond. Ionic attractions are strong and are responsible for the formation of ionic compounds.

An ionic bond is an electrostatic?

An ionic bond is an electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions. It forms when electrons are transferred from one atom to another, creating positively and negatively charged ions that are held together by the attraction between them.


What is the formation of positively and negatively charged objects?

Positively charged objects gain electrons to become negatively charged. Negatively charged objects lose electrons to become positively charged. This exchange of electrons creates an imbalance of positive and negative charges, leading to the attraction between the objects.


What has the max inter particle attraction?

Ionic bonds have the strongest interparticle attraction due to the electrostatic forces between positively and negatively charged ions.
