What type of reaction can any atoms/molecules form?
London dispersion
What is electronegativity?
It affects how polar/non-polar forces are by how strong the pull is on electrons
What are london dispersion forces?
Temporary dipoles that create a partial force.
What is a hydrogen bond?
An extremely strong polar bond (O-H, N-H, F-H)
Rank the 3 forces strongest to weakest
Hydrogen bonds, dipole-dipole, london dispersion
What is a molecule pair?
Must obtain a polar covalent bond and have asymmetrical ends
How can you determine which way to draw a bond dipole?
The direction of the dipole will face the direction of the molecule with a higher EN
Why is it important to take both the polarity of the bonds and the shape of the molecule into consideration when determining the polarity of the molecule?
To be able to determine whether or not a molecule is electronegative.
Can an element have a partial charge?
Yes, depending on if other elements are taking or donating electrons.
Do dipoles change direction when moved?
No, they still face the same way
