Intermolecular forces and hydrogen bonding Flashcards
1
Q
What are intermolecular forces?
A
Weak interactions between dipoles of different molecules
2
Q
What is a dipole?
A
A bond or molecule whose ends have opposite charge (postive negative)
3
Q
What are the 3 types of intermolecular forces?
A
-induced dipole-dipole interactions (London forces)
-permanent dipole-dipole interactions
-hydrogen bonding
4
Q
In what order is the strongest to weakest intermolecular forces?
A
hydrogen bonding (strongest)
permanent dipole to dipole interactions
induced dipole to dipole interactions(weakest)
