Which statement describes the difference between covalent bonds and Van der Waals forces?
A. Covalent bonds form when there is an attraction between
nonpolar molecules, while Van der Waals forces cause two atoms
to share valence electrons.
B. Covalent bonds occur when two atoms share valence electrons,
while Van der Waals forces cause an attraction between positive
and negative ions.
C. Covalent bonds form when two atoms share valence electrons,
while Van der Waals forces cause an attraction between nonpolar
molecules
D. Covalent bonds form from the attraction of positive ions and freely
moving electrons, while Van der Waals forces cause an attraction
between nonpolar molecules.
