A

The forces between molecules

96
Q

What does the boiling point/melting point represent?

A

The strength of intermolecular forces

97
Q

What does a high boiling point represent?

A

High boiling point represents large intermolecular forces, more energy needed to break bonds

98
Q

What are van der Waals?

A
  • Instantaneous dipole-induced dipoles

- A weak form of intermolecular force

99
Q

How are van der Waals formed?

A

Electrons moving freely around creating instantaneous dipole induced dipole forces
- electrostatic attraction between temporary dipoles

100
Q

What are temporary dipoles?

A

When part of a molecule becomes more negative or positive therefore resulting in electrostatic attraction forming Van der Waals

101
Q

How do van der Waals increase?

A
  • Increasing numbers of electrons
  • Increasing numbers of chain lengths
  • Size of molecule increases
  • Shape of molecule arranged neatly
102
Q

When are van der Waals highest?

A
  • When molecules have lots of surface contact
103
Q

Why do straight chain molecules have strong Van der Waals?

A
  • Pack close together

- More surface contact

104
Q

Why does Geometric (E-Z) isomerism only occur in alkenes (double bonds)?

A
  • Molecules cannot rotate around double bonds
105
Q

How to work out empirical formula:

A
  • Element/molecule
  • Percentage/data
