Intermolecular Bonds/Forces Flashcards
1
Q
Intramolecular
A
a bond within a molecule
2
Q
Intermolecular
A
a bond between molecules
3
Q
Intermolecular Force: dipole - dipole
A
bond between 2 identical polar molecules
4
Q
Intermolecular force: hydrogen bonding
A
a bond between a hydrogen atom of one molecule (polar molecule) and a highly electronegative atom ex. (F, O, N) of another molecule (ex. HF, H2O, and NH3)
5
Q
Hydrogen Bonding
A
- strong bonds (strongest intermolecular force)
- reasons why water has a high melting point/high boiling point for it’s size
- the strongest the intermolecular force the higher the boilng point
6
Q
VAN der WAALS Forces
A
- attraction between nonpolar molecules
- weak force of attraction so low MP, low BP
- reason why non polar molecules exist as liquids at low temp and high pressure
- most effective when molecules are close such as between molecules with more electrons and a larger molecular mass
- the stronger the VAN der Waals force the higher the melting/boiling point of the substance
7
Q
Molecule/Ion Attraction
A
attraction between a + or - ion (ionic compound) and the opposite charged ends of a solvent molecule (a liquid in which a substance dissolves )
