Chp 2—IMFs, Acid-Base Flashcards
bond dipole moment
vector quantity that measures polarity of covalent bond
bond dipole equation
μ = d(δ)
μ = dipole moment
d = distance between atoms
δ = charge
resultant dipole
dipole moment of entire molecule
melting point
temperature at which equilibrium exists between crystalline solid state and liquid state
boiling point
temperature at which vapor pressure of a liquid equals pressure of the atmosphere around the liquid
ion-ion force
electrostatic attraction
results in ionic bonds
BP, MP is very high
strongest IMF
ion-ion force
3 VDW forces
dipole dipole
london dispersion
hydrogen bonding
2 factors related to magnitude of dispersion forces
- polarizability — related to size — atoms with larger atomic radii have greater dispersion forces, as e- are further from nucleus
- surface area — linear molecules have more dispersion forces than branced/spherical molecules
attraction in H bonding is between….
highly positive H + lone pairs on N, O, F of other molecules
strength of 3 hydrogen bonds
HF > HO > HN
Arrhenius theory
Acid: produces H+ in water
Base: produces OH- in water
Bronsted theory
Acid: proton donor
Base: proton acceptor
Lewis theory
Acid: e- acceptor
Base: e- donor
polar double bonds act as Lewis _____
acids
5 effects on acid strength
- EN of atom connected to H (higher = more acidic)
- size of atom connected to H (larger = more acidic)
- orbital character of atom connected to H (more s character = more acidic)
- delocalization of charge in conj. anion base (more resonance structure in conj base = more acidic)
- inductive effects (higher EN of inductive group, shorter distance, higher number of inductive groups = more acidic)
