intermolecular forces Flashcards
1
Q
Permanent Dipole-Dipole
A
-due to an attraction between molecules with dipoles/ there is polarity
-the greater difference in electronegativity,the greater the strength of the dipole-dipole force
2
Q
Hydrogen Bonds
A
-between molecules that contain a hydrogen atom bonded to an atom of fluorine, oxygen or nitrogen ONLY
-strongest intermolecular force
3
Q
London Forces
A
-due to moving electrons results in temporary dipoles
-induces neighbouring dipole in such a way that one end of the dipole is attracted to the other
-larger the molecule, stronger the force because there are more electrons, so more points of contact
-weakest forces
