What force holds a molecule of NaCl together in an ionic bond?
NaCl is an ionic compound, not a molecule. The positive sodium ion and the negative chloride ion are held together by an electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged ions.
How do oppositely charged ions form chemical bonds?
If two oppositely charged ions are attracted, they form an ionic bond, and an ionic compound.
Why is HCN is a dipole-dipole compound?
HCN is a linear molecule and as nitrogen is the most electronegative atom a small negative charge builds on the nitrogen atom and a small positive charge on the hydrogen. This forms a dipole (dipole means two oppositely charged ends). The intermolecular forces between HCN molecules are electrostatic and are caused by the dipole on one molecule interacting with one on another molecule. This is called dipole -dipole interaction.
What is happening during bonding?
Different bonds involve different interactions between atoms or molecules.Covalent Bonds: electrons are shared between two atoms, holding them together.Ionic Bonds: electrons are transferred (either donated or accepted) between two atoms, holding them together.Hydrogen Bonds: the partially negative part of a polar molecule is attracted to the partially positive part of another polar molecule.
What produces the attraction between polar molecules?
A polar molecule has two poles, a negative pole and a positive pole (which is the result of an asymmetrical distribution of electrons). And in accordance with Coulomb's Law, opposite charges will attract, and same charges will repel. So polar molecules will arrange themselves so that the oppositely charged poles face each other, and thus are attracted.

What struggle produces the partial negative and partial positive charges on a water molecule?
The water molecule has a partial negative and partial positive charge because it is a polar molecule. Electrostatic attraction between the partial negative and partial positive molecules gives the water molecule its partial charge.
Identify the type of weak that forms between water molecules?
The electrons in the water molecule are shared by oxygen and hydrogen atoms. However, the shared electrons are attracted more strongly by the oxygen nucleus than by the hydrogen nuclei. The water molecule therefore has partically positive and negative ends, or poles.
When are hydrogen bonds formed?
Short Answer: a partially positive hydrogen atom gets attracted to a partially negatively charged atom. _______________________ Take water for example. There is an Oxygen atom (which pulls electrons towards it-- making it partially negative) There are also two hydrogen atoms. The (negatively charged) electron on each H atom is being pulled towards the O atom, making the Hydrogen partially positive. Now, when two water molecules come together, the partially positively charged H's on one water molecule are attracted to the partially negatively charged O's on the other molecule. This attraction between oppositely charged atoms on different molecules creates a 'hydrogen bond'.

Why do molecules attract each other?
Molecules are attracted to each other because in a polar molecule, one or more atoms are slightly more positive or negative than the other atoms. The slightly more negative atoms are attracted to the slightly more positive atoms of other molecules, and vice versa. An example of the bonds that can be formed between molecules are hydrogen bonds (weak bonds between hydrogen atoms in a molecule. Ex: water).
What is something that forms a attraction between a hydrogen molecules with apartial positive charge and another atom or molecule with a partial or fuol negative charge?
A hydrogen bond occurs between the partially positive hydrogen end of a polar molecule and the partially negative end of another polar molecule.
What type of bond is between the positive hydrogen end of one molecule towards the negative end of another molecule?
This is a hydrogen bond.
