5.3 Flashcards
london dispersion
temporary attraction to other atoms/molecules, present in all molecules
dipole-dipole
forces arise from the attraction between the positive end of one polar molecule and the negative end of another.
hydrogen bonds
strong dipole-dipole bonds
order of bonds from weakest to strongest
london dispersion, dipole-dipole, hydrogen
OH bonds
polar covalent bonds, between an oxygen atom and a hydrogen atom in a molecule.
hydrophobic vs hydrophilic
hydrophobic repel water. non polar (oil, hexane)
hydrophilic-interact well with water, polar (water, alcohol, ect)
polar
Unequal sharing of electrons, different electronegativity, asymmetrical shape.
non polar
Equal sharing of electrons, similar electronegativity, symmetrical shape.
what type of intermolecular attractions a particular molecule will be able to form based on its structure
By the molecular structure and the type of bonds , you can predict the attractions a molecule can form.
what makes a molecule will be soluble in water based on its structure
polar or ionic are generally soluble in water
The ability to form hydrogen bonds with water causes solubility.
