difference between bond force and non bond force
Answers
Answer:
The term "bond" is generally reserved to describe an attractive, stabilizing interaction between atoms or groups in the same molecule or in different molecules, that has a magnitude of at least several kcal/mol. Everything from hydrogen bonds at the low end up to full chemical bonds at the high magnitude end are included.
The terms "force" and "interaction" can be used to describe any attractive or repulsive situation, of any magnitude, between atoms or molecules. So these terms would be used to describe the van der Waals "interaction", where the "forces" involved are much less than those involved in bonding. However, the terms "force" and "bonding" can also be used to describe situations involving larger magnitude interactions such as, "bringing the atoms together led to a bonding interaction."
