POLAR AND NONPOLAR MOLECULES

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The attraction from one molecule to the next is
A
a polar bond
B
an intermolecular force
C
strong nuclear force
D
Newton’s force
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -An intermolecular force is an attractive force that arises between the positive components (or protons) of one molecule and the negative components (or electrons) of another molecule. Various physical and chemical properties of a substance are dependent on this force.

Detailed explanation-2: -Intermolecular attractions are attractions between one molecule and a neighboring molecule. The forces of attraction which hold an individual molecule together (for example, the covalent bonds) are known as intramolecular attractions.

Detailed explanation-3: -Attractive intermolecular forces are categorized into the following types: Hydrogen bonding. Ion–dipole forces and ion–induced dipole forces. Van der Waals forces – Keesom force, Debye force, and London dispersion force.
