General Chemistry 2 - Module 2: Intermolecular Forces

Question 1

atoms can form stable units called what

Answer 1

molecules

Question 2

what do you call when atoms form stable units called molecules by sharing electrons

Answer 2

intramolecular bonding

Question 3

this holds atoms together in a molecule

Answer 3

intramolecular forces

Question 4

this forces stabilize individual molecules. generally, these forces are simply the chemical bonds such as ionic and covalent bonding

Answer 4

intramolecular forces

Question 5

these are attractive forces between molecules

Answer 5

intermolecular forces

Question 6

intermolecular forces are collectively known as

Answer 6

van der waals forces

Question 7

when a substances changes its phase, what things remain intact

Answer 7

their molecules

Question 8

these are due to changes in the forces among the molecules rather than in those within the molecules

Answer 8

changes in states

Question 9

what would be the process if you were to really separate the atoms from a molecule

Answer 9

it would take much energy to overcome the covalent compounds and decompose the water molecules into their component atoms

Question 10

what are the 4 types of intermolecular forces

Answer 10

1. dipole-dipole
2. london dispersion forces
3. hydrogen bonding
4. ion-dipole forces

Question 11

these are intermolecular forces of attraction that exist between all atoms and molecules

Answer 11

london dispersion forces
