2.4 Molecules and Solutions Flashcards
Describe london dispersion attraction…
weakest attraction, between any two molecules
Describe dipole-dipole attraction…
between any two polar molecules
Describe hydrogen attraction…
between two very polar molecules that contain an N-H, O-H, or F-H bond
Describe ionic attraction…
between ions form through transfer of valence electrons
Describe covalent attraction…
strongest attraction, between atoms in the same molecule
Rank the attractions from strongest to weakest..
Strongest : Covalent, Ionic, Hydrogen, Dipole-Dipole, and London Dispersion : Weakest
What determines if a molecule is polar/non polar?
polar molecules are asymmetrical while non polar molecules structures are normally linear, polar molecules also have a difference in electronegativity
