What type of van der Waals force exists between molecules of oxygen?
Wiki User

Oxygen molecules are not polar, so their are no dipole attractions. Further, there are no hydrogen bonds holding oxygen molecules together. The only real intermolecular force would be dispersion forces.

What type of attraction occurs between nonpolar covalent molecules?
In non-polar covalent molecules weak forces exists & are known as Van der Waals' forces
How can molecules of sugar be dissolved by molecules of water?
When crystallized sugar is put into water, the H2O molecules separate the sugar molecules from each other. This happens because both H2O and sugar molecules are polar. The polarity causes the much smaller H2O molecules to squeeze between the sugar molecules and break the weak van der Waals forces that exists between them. The H2O molecule bonds to the sugar molecule with a stronger bond than the earlier van der Waals force (because of the polarity of the molecules).
Attractions between water molecules are called?
"van der waals" forces.
Why there is no covalent bond in liquid?
Covalent bonds exists between atoms within a molecule. And liquids can consist of such molecules. However, covalent bonds are not a type of intermolecular bond (bonds such as van der Waals bonds, hydrogen bonds, etc.). As such, they do not define the bonds present between molecules in liquids.
What are attractions between water molecules called?
Dipole-dipole The attraction between two dipoles.

Why is dioxygen a gas and sulphur is a solid?
oxygen is a gas because it is held together by weak van der waals forces acting between the small molecules sulfur usually forms s8 molecules so the van der waals forces acting between the molecules are lager giving it a higher boiling point

What do van der waals do?
they form temporary, weak dipole attractions between molecules

What is the formula of iodine crystals?
Iodine exists as I2. The crystal of iodine is formed simply by the interaction of iodine molecules as a result of Van de Waals forces, which allows for these molecules to bond together to form a solid.
What are attractions between water molecules called?
Dipole-dipole The attraction between two dipoles.
The slight attractions that develop between oppositely charged regions of nearby molecules are?
van der Waals forces.
What is the force that exits between two molecules?
The van der Waals force, Wikipedia.org, "The World's Encyclopedia" as a great article on it.
What type(s) of intermolecular forces are expected between SF6 molecules?
London Force / van der Waals force
