Chemistry- U4 AOS1 Flashcards
intermolecular bonds
forces of attraction or repulsion which are present between neighboring molecules and causing them to be linked
Ex. *hydrogen, dipole-dipole, dispersion *
Polar
those which have a net dipole moment due to the differences in the electronegativities of the atoms present in the molecule which do not allow to cancel the dipoles
Ex. H2O
Non-polar
those which have net dipole moment as zero as the dipoles of the atoms are cancelled out within the molecule.
Ex. H2, CO2, carbon tetrachloride
intramolecular
forces that hold atoms together within a molecule
Ex. Hydrogen, colvalent, ionic
Functional group vs homologous series
Functional groups are atoms or groups of atoms in a compound that determine its characteristic reactions
Homologous series is a family of organic molecules with the same functional group, similar chemical properties and different numbers of carbon atoms.
