Question

The attraction of the positive end of one molecule for the negative end of a neighboring molecule is a(n)



a. 

covalent bond. 

c.

b. 

dipole-dipole force. 

d. 

London dispersion force.

.sam. · Answer

Ionic bonding is the complete transfer of valence electrons between atoms. It's a type of chemical bond that generates two oppositely charged ions.

.sam. · Answer

Covalent bonding is a type of bond that involves the 'sharing' of electron pairs between atoms. Dipole-dipole forces are attractive forces between the positive and negative end of the polar molecules. London dispersion is just a weak intermolecular force.
