Intermolecular Forces Flashcards
Types of intermolecular forces
- hydrogen bonds
- Permanent dipole dipole interactions
- London forces
Where do London forces occur
ALL simple covalent molecule
Separate atoms in noble gases
Factors affecting London forces
Amount of electrons
Shape of molecule
Anomalous properties of ice
Less dense than water
High boiling points
Molecules held apart by hydrogen bonds
Where does hydrogen bonding occur
Compounds that have a hydrogen attached to nitrogen oxygen or flourine
Where do permanent dipole interactions occur
Polar molecules
Properties of permeant dipole interactions
Stronger than London forces
High boiling points
Asymmetrical bonds
Formation of a permeant dipole
Unequal distribution of electrons in a bond
Why is average bond enthalpy important
Larger the average bond the stronger the covalent bond
