Chem test 2 Flashcards
intramolecular
within, like covalent
intermolecular
between
which is more permanent, intramolecular or intermolecular?
intramolecular
What is an intermolecular force?
Force of attraction that occurs between atoms, molecules, and ions d/t their proximity in space to each other
Intermolecular forces properties:
- weaker than intramolecular forces
- a higher number of particles within a space leads to more interactions, but it doesn’t mean they’re stronger
- the magnitude of the charge affects the strength of the attraction
- distance between species affects the strength of the attraction
- the stronger the attractive forces between the particles, the more they resist moving or breaking apart
What creates a partial charge?
electron density is not equally shared between two atoms, electrons favor the more electronegative
What is it called when electron density is not equally shared between two atoms
electric dipole or dipole moment
What is surface tension?
Liquids resistance to increase its surface area
What is capillary action?
the spontaneous rising of a liquid in a narrow tube against the pull of gravity
What is viscosity?
measure of a liquid’s resistance to flow
Most drugs bind to receptors through molecular forces rather than formation of chemical bonds, this determines
efficacy, potency, and to some extent toxicity
Changes in phases do not _______ chemical bonds, only _____ an intermolecular force
break
disrupt
What makes something change shape?
temperature and pressure
What does solubility depend in part on?
attractive forces of the solute and solvent
substances with similar polarity will be
soluble or miscible
like dissolves like
