anonymous · Answer

that must help you!

anonymous · Answer

can u cover the concept in a small paragraph cuz i can also google it but in need a small note on it.

anonymous · Answer

oh!

anonymous · Answer

The force between two molecules; it is that negative gradient of the potential energy between the interacting molecules, if energy is a function of the distance between the centers of the molecules.

A covalent bond occurs when atoms are sharing electrons, and this is what forms a molecule. It's very strong and you need a lot of energy to break this kind of bond. Ionic bonds on the other hand aren't as strong, they're just atoms attaching to each other based on having opposite charges, like how magnets attach, except it's electric charges not magnetic.

ik all this but i need help with something else. i think u ant getting it.  its like a note on Van der Walls forces and dipole_dipole forces.

anonymous · Answer

so hmm okay so inter-molecular forces 

Dipole-dipole interactions: These are forces of interactions in polar molecules 
( other than those who have hydrogen bonding and these are weaker compared to H-bonding.

Van der waals forces of attractions: Forces of attractions in non polar molecules, particularly 3 families
1) halogen
2) alkanes
3) Noble gas

The bonds are obviously covalent.

so this is main difference
