MCQ
Covalent molecules are usually held in a crystal structure by
  • A
    Dipole-dipole attraction
  • B
    Electrostatic attraction
  • C
    Hydrogen bonds
  • Vander Waal's attraction

Answer

Correct option: D.
Vander Waal's attraction
d
The atoms in molecular covalent molecules are held together by strong covalent bonds. Although these bonds are strong, there are only weak forces of attraction between molecules. These weak attractive forces are called van der Waal's forces and can be broken with little energy.
