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