Intermolecular forces Flashcards
1
Q
Intermolecular bonding only applies to:
A
simple covalent molecules. No other type of bonding has intermolecular forces as they don’t form molecules
2
Q
How is the change of matter changed for molecules?
A
It involves overcoming/forming forces between molecules. Molecules don’t break bonds when they change state of matter
3
Q
What is electronegativity?
A
How strongly an atom attracts the pair of electrons in a covalent bond
4
Q
What’s polarity?
A
A polar covalent bond is one in which the electron pair is unequal shared between two atoms
5
