GenChem 2 L2: Intermolecular Forces of Attraction (3) Flashcards
How To Identify Polar and NonPolar Molecules:
● central atom has no lone pairs of electrons
● surrounding atoms has no lone pairs if electrons
Nonpolar
How To Identify Polar and NonPolar Molecules:
● has lone pairs of electrons
● surrounding atoms has lone pair of electrons
Polar
How To Identify Polar and NonPolar Molecules:
___ = Non-Polar
___ = Polar
___ = Polar-Covalent
___ = Polar Ionic
lower than 0.5 = Non-Polar
equal or higher than 0.5 = Polar
lower than 1.7 = Polar-Covalent
higher than 1.7 = Polar Ionic
How to Determine Which IMF a Substance has:
● can be Dipole-Dipole force
● can be London Dispersion Force
Polar Molecules
made up of same atoms
Homoatomic Molecules
How to Determine Which IMF a Substance has:
● can only be London Dispersion Force
Nonpolar Molecules
made up of different atoms
Heteroatomic Molecules
How to Determine Which IMF a Substance has:
● hydrogen bonded to fluorine, oxygen, nitrogen
● Hydrogen Bonding
H-FON
molecules with a net dipole moment
Polar Covalent Compounds
molecules with zero dipole moment
Nonpolar Covalent Compounds
Differentiate Net Dipole Moment between Zero Dipole Moment
Net Dipole Moment - electrons are not equally shared between atoms.
Zero Dipole Moment - electrons in the bonds are shared equally between atoms
