Metallic Bond Generally metallic bond is observed in metals. Metal atom prefers to have maximum number of atoms around it. As distance between atoms is…

Vander Waals Bond A universal weak attractive force acts between nearby atoms. The mutual interaction by which this force of attraction is created is called…

During chemical interaction, of two atoms of the same element or different elements, if transfer of outer-shell electrons is not possible, then by sharing of…

Ionic Bond While mixing a metal with a non-metal normally one or more electrons are donated by metal atom to non-metal atom. Consequently metal atom…

Inter Atomic Force in Gases Interatomic distance in gases is very large and interatomic force is very small compared to solids and liquids. So, in…

Bonding of Matter Whatever we see around us, all of them are either elements or compounds. In materials there are innumerable numbers of molecules. Molecules…

Inter Molecular Attractive All materials are composed of very tiny particles called atoms and molecules. Within these atoms and molecules there exist different types of attraction.…

Interatomic Force in Solids Solid body has fixed shape and volume. Due to strong attracting force particles remain very close to each other. Inter atomic…

Inter Atomic Force in Liquids In liquid state, inter-atomic force between particles constituting the material is relatively small. For this, the particles do not remain…

Hydrogen bonding Strong forces of attraction exist between molecules containing a hydrogen atom bonded to a highly electronegative element such as nitrogen, oxygen or fluorine.…
