Intermolecular Forces Flashcards
1
Q
What are intermolecular forces
A
Forces between molecules. And hold molecules in close proximity
2
Q
What are the 3 types of intermolecular forces
A
Hydrogen bonds
Dipole dipole
London dispersion
3
Q
Characteristics of hydrogen bonds
A
More positive hydrogen if one molecule is attracted to the more negative oxygen of another
Between hydrogen and oxygen or hydrogen and nitrogen
4
Q
Characteristics of dipole dipole attractions
A
Positive portion of the polar molecule is attracted to negative portion of another polar molecule
5
Q
What are London dispersion forces
A
Electrons are continually moving around a molecule
Sometimes electrons cluster together causing one end to be more negative
