Q

Intramolecular forces

A

Atoms within molecules have forces between them called intramolecular forces. Covalent bonds form between atoms with an electronegativity difference of under 0.5, polar covalent bonds form between atoms with an electronegativity difference of 0.5-1.7 and ionic bonds form between atoms with an electronegativity difference of over 1.7. Ionic bonds are the strongest and form electrolytes so they conduct electricity. Ionic compounds are solid at room temperature and disassociate completely in water. They also have high melting and boiling points. Polar covalent compounds disassociates in water bit does not conduct electricity. Covalent bonds are the weakest, so covalent compounds are gases at room temperature.
