    Carbon-Carbon bond is not considered as a noncovalent interaction because electrons are shared between the two carbons forming a strong covalent bond.

    Explanation:

    Non covalent interactions does not involve sharing of electrons rather it involves dispersed variation of electromagnetic interactions between the molecules.

    Examples include;

    Hydrogen bond - in order to be formed the donor Atom has to be electronegative

    Ionic interactions - These are attractions between two oppositely charged ions

    Van der waals - It is formed due to small, transient asymmetric electron distribution around atoms
