C
Van der Waals attractions
D
Covalent bonds
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the types of chemical bonds listed in the problem: Ionic bonds, Hydrophobic effect, Van der Waals attractions, and Covalent bonds.
Understand the nature of ionic bonds: Ionic bonds are formed when one atom donates an electron to another atom, resulting in a positive ion and a negative ion that attract each other.
Review the characteristics of covalent bonds: Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms, rather than the transfer of electrons.
Consider the hydrophobic effect: This is not a bond but rather a phenomenon where nonpolar molecules aggregate to avoid contact with water.
Examine Van der Waals attractions: These are weak interactions caused by temporary changes in electron density, not involving the transfer of electrons.
