Intermolecular Force Flashcards
1
Q
Intermolecular force
A
a weak force of attraction between molecules, ions, or atoms of noble gases
2
Q
Intramolecular Force
A
a bond which occurs between atoms within molecules
3
Q
Covalent bond
A
a sharing of at least one pair of electrons
by two non-metal atoms
4
Q
Non-polar covalent
A
an equal sharing of electrons
5
Q
Polar Covalent
A
unequal sharing of electrons leading to a dipole forming (as a result of electronegativity difference)
6
Q
Electronegativity
A
measure of the tendency of an atom
to attract a bonding pair of electrons
7
Q
Ionic bonding
A
generally between metals (or ammonium ions) and non-metals (or polyatomic ions)
8
Q
Metallic bonding
A
as being between a positive kernel and a sea of delocalised electrons
