Question

question 9 of 10
which of the following interactions is not a type of intermolecular force?

a. hydrogen bonds

b. covalent bonds

c. dipole - dipole forces

d. van der waals forces

Explanation:

Intermolecular forces are forces between molecules. Hydrogen bonds, dipole - dipole forces, and Van der Waals forces (including London dispersion forces) are all intermolecular forces that act between different molecules. Covalent bonds, however, are intramolecular forces, meaning they act within a molecule to hold atoms together (by sharing electrons between atoms in a molecule). So covalent bonds are not a type of intermolecular force.

Answer:

B. Covalent bonds
