Question
Chapter 12, Problem 12.32P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason for the higher strength of covalent bonds as compared to intermolecular forces is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
A covalent bond is formed by the interaction of two nonmetals. Covalent compounds are formed by the sharing of electrons between two or more atoms. A covalent bond is the strong forces of attraction between the shared pairs of electrons and the nuclei of the combining atoms.
Intermolecular forces operate between the molecules so changes with change in the phase and effects with physical properties of the substance.
