Attraction between Compounds Flashcards
Bond Polarity is
difference in electronegativity
If you have nonpolar bonds. then the molecule is…
nonpolar
If you have polar bonds with even distribution of charges, then the molecule is…
Nonpolar
If you have polar bonds with uneven distribution of charges, then the molecule is…
polar
Polar molecules have
polar ends
Intermolecular forces (IMF):
attraction between molecules
Intramolecular forces:
within a compound
(ionic bonds, covalent bonds, metallic bonding)
What is Van der Waals Force’s used for
general term used to define the attraction of intermolecular forces between molecules
What are the 2 types of Van de Waals forces?
weak London Dispersion Forces
Stronger dipole-dipole forces
What causes LDF?
attraction between induced dipole-caused by motion of electrons
How strong is LDF?
weakest of all
Where is LDF found?
Found in all molecules, but the only attraction present in nonpolar molecules
What happens to LDF attraction as the number of electrons increase?
The attraction increases
Dipole Interactions have permanent dipoles
true
How do dipole interactions occur?
When the polar molecules are attracted to eachother because of their partially charged ends?
