ch. 10 and 11 Flashcards
how to tell if a molecule is polar
positive and negative end
if a structure is linear
the two polar bonds cancel out making it a nonpolar molecule
sp3 hydridization means
bent electron geometry, polar and doesnt cancel out
intermolecular forces for a pure substance are
covalent and based on positive and negative charges attract- not a chemical bond
dipole- dipole
polar molecules- about 1% as strong as a covalent bond
hydrogen bonding
same as dipole but stronger. not a covalent bond but an intermolecular force
requirement for hydrogen bonds
covalent bond between H, N,O or F
unusually high boiling point for
H2O, HF, NH3- large intermolecular forces
London dispersion forces
electrons slosh around- can induce temporary dipoles- nonpolar molecules, weak attraction forces
do all molecules have london forces
yes- more electrons, more I.M forces
polarizability
I.M forces increase with molar mass (# of electrons)
super critical fluids
density of a liquid but fill container like a gas- acts as a solvent
critical temp
temp above which the vapor cannot be compressed to a liquid
what is the molality definition
moles SOLUTE/ kg SOLVENT
molarity definition
moles SOLUTE/ L SOLUTION
