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
