Results from our forumVan der Waals forcesHydrogen bond are one of the intermolecular force (means it's one group with VDW force) but the energy stored inside the hydrogen bond is more than any ...

Van der Waals forces Van der Waals forces are much weaker than forces that enable hydrogen bonds. You contradicted what Victor ... contained inside one molecule...Example, covalent bond and ionic bond. i.e. CH4 Intermolecular force is a force energy that's formed by at least 2 molecule. i.e. CH3COOH---OHOCCH3 ...

Van der Waals forcesYup, hydrogen bond is one of them.... Intramolecular force is a force energy that's contained inside one molecule...Example, covalent bond and ionic bond. i.e. CH4 Intermolecular force is a force energy that's formed by at least 2 molecule. i.e. CH3COOH---OHOCCH3

Van der Waals forcesNaah, the definition and example that you gave were for INTRAMOLECULAR FORCE but what Aerlinn ask was the definition of Van Der Waals Forces or in other words.. INTERMOLECULAR FORCES ...

Van der Waals forces... in intramolecular covalent bonding..it's truly different from VDW force.. let me explain it with ZBS then: Imagine there are two molecule of ... only a weak binding). PS: you have to differ between intramolecular and intermolecular forces. Try to understand both of them. Clear now?? I hope ...
