Molecules are attracted to each other because in a polar molecule, one or more atoms are slightly more positive or negative than the other atoms. The slightly more negative atoms are attracted to the slightly more positive atoms of other molecules, and vice versa. An example of the bonds that can be formed between molecules are hydrogen bonds (weak bonds between hydrogen atoms in a molecule. Ex: water).

∙ 9y agoMolecules can attract each other for several different reason. A few examples:
1.) London Dispersion forces. These exist between all molecules. Weak forces.
2.) Polarity. Molecules of different electronegativities attract each other due to electron density.
3.) A molecule with extra electrons (a nucleophile) is in solution with a molecule lacking electrons.

Why does water have a high latent heat?
This is because of its polar nature - water molecules have a strong dipole, therefore, the water molecules attract each other more than most other molecules do.
When a magnet moves why does the other one move with it?
Magnets tend to attract each other.Magnets tend to attract each other.Magnets tend to attract each other.Magnets tend to attract each other.
How do objects with different charges react to each other?
They attract each other. Thus the saying, 'opposites attract'
Do positively charged objects attract each other?
no,they do not attract.
Do electric charges attract or repel each other?
attract
How do oil molecules attract each other?
By polarity, the opposite charges attract each other.
Can atoms in molecules share electrons?
Yes, that is how they attract to each other to create molecules.
Can carbon dioxide attract carbon dioxide?
When carbon dioxide is a gas, the molecules repel each other. When carbon dioxide is a solid the molecules do attract each other, and bond in a crystalline structure.
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.
Do unequal number of molecules attract or repel each other?
The number of molecules has nothing to do with attraction or repulsion.
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.
What intermolecular force attracts two nonpolar molecules to each other?
Molecules will always attract each other unless they are negative. In which case tthey will push each other away.
Why does water have a high latent heat?
This is because of its polar nature - water molecules have a strong dipole, therefore, the water molecules attract each other more than most other molecules do.
Why does water weigh more then gasoline?
Water weighs more than gasoline because the particles in water are more dense than those in gasoline. This is because water molecules are highly polar and tend to attract each other. Gasoline molecules are not nearly as polar and do not attract each other.
Can similar charges attract each other?
No they can not attract each other.
What do intermolecular tend to attract?
Other molecules
Give one reason why water molecules are attracted o each other?
The H atoms with partial + charges attract O atoms with partial - charges on other water molecules.
