Chem Bonding

Question 1

Explain how id id interactions are formed

Answer 1

Due to constant, random motion of molecules, an instantaneous dipole arises when the electron cloud of a molecule is unevenly distributed instantaneously. This instantaneous dipole then induces a dipole on neighbouring molecules upon close approach

Question 2

What are id id interactions and what are PD PD interactions

Answer 2

Idid: electrostatic FOA between oppositely charged temporary dipoles in covalent molecules

Pdpd: electrostatic FOA between opp charged permanent dipoles in polar molecules
