Chem - Bond/structure - Molecular

Question 1

Type of structure

Answer 1

Molecular non metal - non metal

Question 2

Electrical conductivity

Answer 2

No charged particles therefore do not conduct

Question 2

Particles and type of bond

Answer 2

Molecules
weak intermolecular forces between molecules

Question 2

Melting and boiling point

Answer 2

Low
Weak intermolecular forces between molecules
Therefore require a small amount of energy to overcome

Question 3

Other properties to account for

Answer 3

Solubility - like dissolves like as they have the similar weak intermolecular forces between them then weak forces can also exists between the two

Question 3

What is the important thing to know when it comes to inter and intra

Answer 3

There are strong covalent bonds between the atoms in the molcules INTRAMOLECULAR FORCES but it is NOT these that are being broken

Question 4

Why can’t molecular substances conduct electricity

Answer 4

Made from molecules in which atoms are covalently bonded to each other. They do not contain mobile charger particles therefore molecular substances cannot conduct
