Which of the following forces is not responsible for the formation of a chemical bond between two atoms?
Electrons and nuclei attract each other.
Electrons repel each other.
Nuclei repel each other.
Van der Waals forces.
The forces responsible for the formation of a chemical bond between two atoms are the attractive forces between electrons and nuclei and the repulsive forces between electrons and nuclei or between two nuclei. Van der Waals forces are weak intermolecular forces that arise due to temporary dipoles in nonpolar molecules, and they do not play a significant role in chemical bonding.
