What is manetism?

a physical phenomenon produced by the motion of electric charge, resulting in attractive and repulsive forces between objects.


The attraction forces between gas molecules lead to?

The attraction forces between gas molecules are very small,but it could be increased by applying high preesure and low temperature. Thus it could be concluded that attraction between gas molecules leads to its liquifaction.


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).


Which factor is responsible for the weak attraction between diatomic molecules of the halogens group 7A?

Within the halogen group, dispersion forces account for a lot of their physical properties. Dispersion forces are caused by the random motion of electrons causing a "pile up" of electrons very briefly on a certain side of the atom. This causes a slight difference in charge across the length of the atom, which in turn causes a slight attraction or repulsion on the part of another nearby atom. Multiplied billions of times across billions of atoms, it creates a measurable force. Dispersion forces are the reason why fluorine (F) and chlorine (Cl) are gases, bromine is a liquid (Br), and iodine (I) is a solid. The more electrons there are (going top to bottom down the halogens), the more dispersion forces you have.

What is the attraction and repulsion forces between subatomic particles?

attraction forces between the electrons of one atom and the nucleus of the other atom are balanced by the repulsive force caused by the two + charged nuclei as they are forced together~attractive forces have a little attraction for the atoms.


What is the basic difference between attractive and repulsive forces?

Attractive forces bring objects closer together, such as gravitational attraction between two masses. Repulsive forces push objects apart, like the electrostatic repulsion between two positively charged particles.


What is state of a perfect gas?

In a perfect gas, the particles only interact by collisions - they have no attraction to each other, nor are there any repulsive forces. The particles have no volume - they are "point masses".


When repulsive forces dominate the attractive forces what will happen?

the bond will not form


What is proton-proton attraction?

Proton-proton attraction refers to the electrostatic force of attraction that exists between two positively charged protons. This force is one of the fundamental forces of nature that holds the nucleus of an atom together. It is responsible for overcoming the repulsive forces that exist between protons due to their like charges.


Is the nuclear force a force of attraction or repulsion or both?

It is only attractive in nature. I am not sure which nuclear force you talk about. Electrical forces of the nucleus are repulsive to the positively charged. There are "strong forces" and the like which are attractive.


Are electric forces attractive or repulsive?

Electric forces can be either attractive or repulsive. Like charges repel each other, while opposite charges attract each other.


What is the relationship between attractive and repulsive forces in physics?

In physics, attractive forces pull objects together, while repulsive forces push them apart. These forces determine how objects interact with each other and can affect the behavior of particles and objects in the universe.


What is the force of the attraction between two atoms?

a chemical bond


What are the attractive and repulsive forces involved in a covalent bond and how do their total strengths compare?

In a covalent bond, the attractive force is the sharing of electrons between atoms, which binds them together. The repulsive force arises from the negatively charged electrons and positively charged nuclei pushing against each other. The total strength of the attractive force between the shared electrons and nuclei is typically stronger than the repulsive force, stabilizing the bond.


What force include attractive and repulsive interactions?

Electrostatic forces


What are the two causes of electric and magnetic forces?

Electric forces are caused by the attraction or repulsion of electric charges, while magnetic forces are caused by the motion of electric charges.
