Chemical Bonding Flashcards
intramolecular bond
covalent
non polar covalent
polar covalent
electronegativity
Use electronegativity numbers to determine the specific type of
covalent bond
ionic bond
metallic bonding
intermolecular force
Distinguish between intermolecular forces and intramolecular
bonds
van der Waals forces
- are intermolecular forces
Dipole-dipole forces/interactions
London forces (induced dipole or dispersion forces)
Hydrogen bonding as a special case of dipole-dipole forces
Know that hydrogen bonds exist between polar molecules in
which hydrogen is bonded to:
- a small atom
- of high electronegativity
- with at least one lone pair of electrons
Explain how the strength of London forces is influenced by the
size of the temporary dipoles, which is influenced by:
- The number of electrons
- The interacting surface of the molecule
Identify the predominant (strongest) intermolecular force in a
substance
Melting and boiling points
Electrical conductivity
