Intramolecular Forces

Question 1

What are intramolecular forces

Answer 1

Forces within molecules that hold each molecule together. Typically called bonds

Question 2

What is electronegativity

Answer 2

The ability of an atom to attract electrons from another atom

Question 3

What happens when an element has a high electronegativity

Answer 3

Attract electrons

Question 4

What happens when an element has a low electronegativity

Answer 4

Give up electrons

Question 5

What makes an element the most reactive

Answer 5

Having the lowest and highest electronegativity

Question 6

Define reactive

Answer 6

How readily an atom will ether gain or lose electrons

Question 7

What creates a strong attraction between atoms

Answer 7

A greater difference in electronegativity

Question 8

<0.5

Answer 8

Non polar covalent

Question 9

0.5-1.7

Answer 9

Polar covalent

Question 10

1.7<

Answer 10

Ionic

Question 11

What is a nonpolar covalent

Answer 11

Equal sharing of electrons
Difference in electronegativity is less than 0.5
Appears symmetrical

Question 12

Characteristics of polar covalent

Answer 12

Unequal sharing of electrons
Electrons spend more time on the electronegative atom
Atom with greater electronegativity will be more negatively charged
Appears asymmetrical

Question 13

Characteristics of ionic

Answer 13

The more electronegative atom steals an electron
Atoms heals together by attraction if opposite charges
Most common between metal and nonmetal
