What is intermolecular force in covalent compounds
Answers
Answer:
Intermolecular forces (IMF) are the forces which mediate interaction between molecules, including forces of attraction or repulsion which act between molecules and other types of neighboring particles.
Answer:
Covalent compounds exhibit van der Waals intermolecular forces that form bonds of various strengths with other covalent compounds. The three types of van der Waals forces include: 1) dispersion (weak), 2) dipole-dipole (medium), and 3) hydrogen (strong).
Intramolecular bonds are the bonds that hold atoms to atoms and make compounds. There are 3 types of intramolecular bonds: covalent, ionic, and metallic.
Covalent Bond: a bond in which a pair or pairs of electrons is shared by two atoms.
Molecular compounds refer to covalently-bonded species, generally of low molecular mass.
Macromolecular compounds are high molecular mass compounds that are covalently-bonded and linear, branched, or cross linked.
Network: compounds in which each atom is covalently-bonded to all its nearest neighbors so that the entire crystal is one molecule.
