Q

Explain how the atoms are held together in a molecule of hydrogen chloride

A

A pair of electrons (one from hydrogen and one from chlorine) is shared between the two atoms.
The atoms the held together by the strong attraction between this shared pair of negatively charged electrons and the positively charged nuclei of the atoms.

Q

Why may a substance have a higher boiling point than another substance?

A

They could be a larger molecule so the intermolecular forces are stronger between the bonds so it takes more energy to boil it, therefore the temperature is higher.

34
Q

What has larger intermolecular forces, polymer molecules or simple covalent molecules and what does this mean?

A

Polymer molecules have larger intermolecular forces as they are bigger so more energy is needed to break them.
