Dipole interactions

Question 1

Describe non-polar covalent bonds

Answer 1

Electrons are shared evenly

pure covalent structure

Question 2

Describe polar covalent bonds

Answer 2

Electron pair is shared unequally

S+ and S- are permanent dipoles

Question 3

what is a dipole?

Answer 3

the separation of opposite charges

Question 4

London forces are what type of interaction?

Answer 4

induced dipole- dipole interactions

Question 5

Describe London forces (induced dipole- dipole interactions)

Answer 5

Movement in electrons causes a changing dipole in a molecule this instantaneous dipole induces a dipole in another molecule and so on.

Question 6

What causes permanent dipole- dipole interactions?

Answer 6

Difference in electronegativity
