Bonding 2 Flashcards
Polar Molecule
A molecule with two centers of with a positive and negative charge
Why do polar molecules form
The electron change which is negative isnt’t distrubuted evenly amonge the atoms that make up the molecule
What does the greek symbole (delta) indicate
the partial charge
Why do ionic compounds have no partial charges
Theres is no sharing of electrons
Dipole
Seperation of positive and negative centers in an individual bond
are dipoles vectors of scalars
Vectors
- Magnitude and direction
Intra
Within
Inter
between
Intramolecular Forces
Covalent bonds holding the molecule together
Intermolecular forces
Attraction between bonds
– breaks when a substance is broken
What are the two major types of intermolecular forces?
- Van Der Waals force
- Hydrogen Bonding
What are the types of Van Der Waals forces?
- Dipole-dipole interactions
- London dispersion force
What are Van Der Waals forces?
An attraction force that exists between all molecules and is the weakest intermolecular force.
What factors affect the strength of Van Der Waals forces?
Depends on the size of the electron cloud and polarizability.
What is polarizability?
The extent to which an electron cloud can be deformed.
What are dipole-dipole forces?
Forces that exist between neutral polar molecules where positive and negative charges attract.
What is an ion-dipole interaction?
Occurs when water molecules orient themselves according to charges.
What are London dispersion forces?
The weakest of all intermolecular forces that occur between adjacent neutral molecules.
How do London dispersion forces arise?
Through instantaneous dipoles created by the distortion of electron clouds.
What factors influence London dispersion forces?
Molecular weight, shape of the molecules, and surface area for contact.
What is hydrogen bonding?
A special case of dipole-dipole forces that are abnormally strong.
What is required for hydrogen bonding?
Hydrogen must be covalently bonded to a highly electronegative element (F, O, or N) and have at least one lone pair.
Why can’t hydrogen bond in water without a lone pair?
No lone pair means no place for hydrogen to bond.
What is the compressibility of gases?
Highly compressive
Gases take the shape and volume of their container.
