Define Intermolecular Forces?
Forces that hold condensed states together
The __________ of particles determines the __________ of Intermolecular Forces that hold the substance together
Structure ; strength
What is the equation for Coulomb’s Law?
E = 1 / 4(pi)E0 (q1q2 / r)
What does Coulomb’s Law state?
States that Intermolecular Forces are due to attractive forces between opposite charges

Which Intermolecular Force exists among all particles and molecules
London Dispersion Force
Define London Dispersion Force
When there are fluctuations in electron distributions within molecules or atoms
Define Polarizability
The ease with which the electron distribution around an atom or molecule can be distorted
Strong force = ________ polarized, ________ mass and __________ boiling point
Easily ; larger ; larger
Weak force = ________ polarized, ________ mass and _________ boiling point
Not easily ; smaller ; smaller
If a particle has the same mass what factor can be used to determine a difference in force?
Shape
Which halogen has the highest boiling point? F2, Cl2, Br2, I2
I2 ; because it has the largest mass
Define Dipole - Dipole Force
Force that is present between polar molecules
More polar = ________ dipole, _________ melting/boiling point
Stronger ; higher
Less polar = ________ dipole, __________ melting/boiling point
Weaker ; lower
Define Miscibility
The ability to mix without separating into 2 states
The _________ of a molecule affects the Miscibility
Polarity
