Inter Vs Intramolecular Bonds. Actually, ionic bonds are in a sort of a gray area between intramolecular and intermolecular bonds. If you're seeing this message, it means we're having trouble loading external resources on our website.
Inter- and intramolecular hydrogen bonds can be distinguished by studying the IR spectra of the product in different solvents. Bonds are formed by sharing electrons between two participating atoms. There are three types of intramolecular bonds - non-polar covalent, polar covalent and ionic bonds.
And should we look at intramolecular or intermolecular when determining the strength of the bonds?
Intramolecular bonds are the strong bonds that hold the atoms in a given molecule together.
By the end of this unit students should be able to. An intramolecular hydrogen bond results in the cyclization of the molecule and prevents their association. Here only ammonia and water have intermolecular hydrogen bonding.
