Q

What is the Stereochemical formula?

A

Similar to structural formula but uses different lines to represent a 3D form
Often not used for bigger compounds because it becomes too complex

stronger

26
Q

What is a polar molecule

A

A molecule where electron charge is not evenly distributed

27
Q

what is a non-polar molecule

A

A molecule where electron charge (or charge in general) is evenly distributed

28
Q

When is it for sure polar

A

Diatomic with other atoms (HCl)
Containing (N)
Containing (O)
Containing C with 2 other kind of atoms

29
Q

When is it for sure NOT polar

A

All elements on their own

Containing (C) and only 1 other kind of atoms

30
Q

What is a polar BOND

A

Bond that has the different electronegativity

31
Q

What is a non-polar BOND

A

Bond that has same electronegativity

32
Q

What is a bond Dipole?

A

When the electrons migrate to one end of the electron creating a difference in charge

33
Q

What are the steps to find polarity

A

Step 1: draw a Lewis formula
Step 2: Use the number of electron pairs and VESPR rules to determine the shape around each central atoms
Step 3: Use electronegativities to determine the polarity of each bond
Step 4: add the bond dipole vectors to determine whether the result is zero or non-zero

34
Q

When are polar molecules soluble

A

in other polar substances

35
Q

when are nonpolar substances soluble

A

in other nonpolar substances

36
Q

what is a intermolecular force

A

A force within a molecule to attract other molecules to form a shape

37
Q

what is the dipole-dipole force?

A

An attraction between polar molecules

38
Q

what is the london force?

A

Momentary attractions between molecules even if they aren’t polar

39
Q

How is the strength of the dipole dipole force measured

A

its measured by the polarity

40
Q

How is the strength of the london force measured

A

it is measured by the amount of electrons in the molecule and the distance between the molecules

41
Q

What does the bioling point measure

A

It measures the strength of the bond or intermolecular force

42
Q

What is a isometric molecule?

A

An isometric molecule is the molecule with the same electron numbers and similar shape

43
Q

What is cohesion

A

cohesion is an attraction between molecules

44
Q

what is adhesion

A

adhesion is attraction between opposite molecules

45
Q

what is volatility

A

volatility is the ability to evaporate

46
Q

what is something the all molecules have in common

A

they all attract each other through the london force

47
Q

what does fracture mean

A

fracture is the way solids break
