Chapter 11 Flashcards
What are the three types of van der Waals forces?
Dipole/Dipole, Hydrogen, London Dispersal
What are Dipole/Dipole interactions caused by?
Polarity
What are Hydrogen Bonds caused by?
The single electron of a H atom is pulled away by N, O, F, or Cl causing it’s proton to be exposed
What are London Dispersal Forces caused by?
Instantaneous/Induced Dipole
Of the three van der Waals forces, which is the strongest?
Hydrogen Bonding
If the size/shape of two molecules are comparable, what intermolecular bonds are usually dominant?
Dipole-Dipole bonds
If the size/shape of two molecules are very different, what intermolecular bonds are usually dominant?
London Dispersal Forces
Boiling point is _____________ proportional to the amount of intermolecular forces present
Directly
Viscosity and surface tension both ______________ with increased intermolecular attraction
Increase
Vapor pressure is ________________ proportional to the amount of intermolecular attractions present
inversely
Vapor pressure is ______________ proportional to temperature
Directly
When a material enters a “liquid crystal state”, what is known about it’s molecular structure?
The positional nature is lost, while the orientation is retained
Nemantic liquid crystals are organized…
along their long axis
Smetic A liquid crystals are organized…
in layers, oriented vertically
Smetic B liquid crystals are organized…
in layers, oriented diagonally
