London dispersion forces occur between molecules that are?
nonpolar
What is the concept of polarity due to?
Differences of polarity between different compounds (molecules) have two causes: - differences of asymmetry between these molecules - differences between the electronegativity of the atoms contained in the molecule
Why is van de waals forces important?
They are the primary intermolecular attractive forces that act between nonpolar molecules. -Apex.

What is the difference in the strength of attractions between polar as nonpolar molecules?
No. A polar molecule (such as water) has partial positive and negative charges at each end, but these partial charges balance out to zero overall, leaving the molecule as a whole neutral. This is due to electrons being shared unevenly be the atoms in the molecule. A "charged molecule" would not be called a molecule. It would be called a polyatomic ion. A polyatomic ions has an overall net charge due to there being a different number of protons and electrons.
Why do polar and nonpolar molecules have different properties?
Compounds differ because of differences in attractions between their molecules.
Why do polar and nonpolar molecules have different properies?
compounds differ because of differences in attractions between their molecules.
Why do polar nonpolar molecules have different properties?
Compounds differ because of differences in attractions between their molecules.
Why polar and nonpolar molecules have different properties?
Compounds differ because of differences in attractions between their molecules.
London dispersion forces occur between molecules that are?
nonpolar
Is I2 an ionic bond?
I2 is a nonpolar covalent because it doesn't have only 2 atoms.
What molecules result from an even distribution of the electron cloud?
I think you're talking about nonpolar covalent molecules. These molecules share their electrons equally between atoms.
Why does gasoline interfere with the hydrogen bonding between ethanol molecules?
Possible because gasoline is nonpolar.
How does the difference between polar and nonpolar molecules affect their interactions?
it makes them dissolve in water easier.
When is a nonpolar bond formed?
A perfectly nonpolar bond is formed by two atoms with identical nuclei, and an at least moderately nonpolar bond is formed between two different atoms with very small differences in their electronegativity values.
Molecules of three or more elements may be nonpolar if the geometric shape is?
Symmetrical. The bonds will need to be nonpolar for this to work since the electrons will need to be shared equally between the two atoms.
What type of attraction occurs between nonpolar covalent molecules?
In non-polar covalent molecules weak forces exists & are known as Van der Waals' forces
