bonding and structure Flashcards
1
Q
how can presence of polar bond be explained by electronegativity
A
one element attracts bonded pair more/is more electronegative
2
Q
whys nacl soluble
A
as water is polar and the ions interact with water molecules.
3
Q
Explain how van der Waals’ forces are formed.
A
uneven distribution of electrons
instantaneous /oscillating/changing/temporary/transient/
dipole on one atom
causes an induced/resultant dipole on another
molecule/atom
