- non-covalent forces are individually weak, compared to covalent bonds but collectively strong with flexibility

a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms. The stable balance of attractive and repulsive forces between atoms when they share electrons is known as covalent bonding

 

 

 non-covalent forces are individually weak, compared to covalent bonds but collectively strong with flexibility
- numerous and dynamic non-covalent forces in and between macromolecules drive molecular interactions
- many small interactions sum to strong attraction
