chapter 2 Flashcards
dipole moment (u)
U = S x d
- S = charge
- d = distance between charges
units of dipole moments
Debye
intermolecular forces from weakest to strongest
- London dispersion
- dipole-dipole
- H-bonding
- ion-dipole
- ionic
London dispersion forces are roughly proportional to the _____________ ______
surface area
do straight-chained alkanes or branched alkanes have stronger attractions
straight-chained
Arrhenius acids
dissociate in water and form H3O+ ions
Arrhenius bases
dissociate in water to give OH- ions
Kw =
[H3O+][OH-] = 1.00 x 10^-14
ph =
-log [H+]
what does the Arrhenius definition not explain
why NH3 neutralizes acids
Bronsted-Lowry acid
donates a proton
Bronsted-Lowry base
accepts a proton
do stronger acids have smaller or larger pKa values
smaller
Lewis base
donates electrons to nucleus with empty or easily vacated orbital
Lewis acid
accepts pair of electrons
electrophile
Lewis acid - accepts pair of electrons
nucleophile
Lewis base - donates pair of electrons
