IMFA

Question 1

what are intramolecular forces?

Answer 1

• bonds inside a molecule
• bonds such as ionic, covalent, and metallic
• generally the stronger bond

Question 2

what are intermolecular forces?

Answer 2

• bonds between multiple molecules
• attraction
• generally the weaker one

Question 3

TYPES OF IMFA

• between polar molecules
• partial charges get attracted to the opposite partial charge of another molecule
• “opposites attract”

ex: HCl
in HCl, the partially positive hydrogen atom of one HCl molecule is attracted to the partially negative chlorine atom of another

Answer 3

dipole-dipole interaction

Question 4

TYPES OF IMFA

• strongest interaction
• between polar molecules containing H chemically bonded to flourine, oxygen, or nitrogen

ex: water
water has hydrogen bonds, which is why it has a high boiling point for a small molecule

Answer 4

H-bonding

Question 5

TYPES OF IMFA

• weakest imfa
• occurs between non-polar molecules
• weak force that results from temporary shifts in the density of electrons in the electron cloud
• becomes partially negative and partially positive
• temporary force of attraction
• easier to break dowm
• the shape will be disorted

ex: methane and noble gases like neon

Answer 5

london dispersion force
