Question

The attractive forces between sodium and chloride ions are called:

a)Bonding Forces
b)Gravity Forces
c)Pulse Forces
d)Interparticle Forces

Answer 1

Dipole-dipole forces are probably the simplest to understand. You probably already know that in an ionic solid like NaCl, the solid is held together by Coulomb attractions between the oppositely-charges ions. The Na+ and Cl- ions alternate so the Coulomb forces are attractive
