The number of molecules has nothing to do with attraction or repulsion.

Why don't water molecules and oxygen molecules attract each other?

Water molecules are polar due to the unequal sharing of electrons between oxygen and hydrogen atoms, while oxygen molecules are nonpolar. As a result, water molecules are attracted to each other through hydrogen bonding, but do not interact strongly with nonpolar oxygen molecules.


What do intermolecular forces tend to attract?

Other molecules


Can atoms in molecules share electrons?

Yes, that is how they attract to each other to create molecules.


What molecules attract other water molecules and tend to pile up via?

cohesion


Why do magnets attract?

the south side of one magnet attract to the north side of the other magnet; opposites attract. The molecules get attracted.


Do unlike molecules attract each other?

Unlike charges attract. Unlike molecules do not, otherwise everything ever would be attracted to everything else ever.If two molecules are of different charges, then yes, they will attract.


Why does water cling to polar molecules?

Water is polar because of its unequal sharing of the electron which makes hydrogen slightly positive in charge and oxygen slightly negative in charge. When this happens, the slightly positive hydrogen atoms attract other slightly negative molecules, and thus, attracting other polar molecules. This cannot happen with nonpolar molecules because their charge is zero.


How does a polar bond differ from a molecule?

Not much really except molecules should have polar bonds so that the bonds attract to other poles causing molecules to bond and form larger things. Its like how the electrons of atoms attract other atoms or collide and form molecules.


Do water molecules attract other polar molecules through adhesion cohesion peptide bonds ionic bonds?

Water molecules attract polar molecules through adhesion and cohesion forces. Adhesion occurs when water molecules are attracted to other polar molecules, while cohesion refers to the attraction between water molecules themselves. Peptide bonds and ionic bonds are not typically involved in the attraction between water and other polar molecules.


Why do water and oxygen not attract?

Water and oxygen molecules do not attract each other because both water and oxygen molecules are nonpolar. Nonpolar molecules do not have regions of positive or negative charge, so they do not exhibit attractive interactions such as hydrogen bonding.


What intermolecular force attracts to nonpolar molecules to each other?

Molecules will always attract each other unless they are negative. In which case tthey will push each other away.


How do oil molecules attract each other?

Oil molecules are nonpolar, so they tend to attract each other through weak intermolecular forces called van der Waals forces. These forces are due to temporary fluctuations in electron distribution that cause a temporary dipole in one molecule, which induces a complementary temporary dipole in neighboring molecules, leading to attraction.
