Organic Chem Flashcards
Dipole-dipole Interaction
a result of two polar molecules interacting with each other through space
Dispersion Force
a weak, short-range attractive force between atoms
Hydrogen Bond
an electrostatic attraction between a hydrogen atom in one polar molecule and a small electronegative atom (nitrogen, oxygen, or fluorine) in usually another molecule of the same or a different polar substance
Ion-dipole Interaction
an attractive force that results from the electrostatic attraction between an ion and a neutral molecule that has a dipole
Isomers
molecules with the same molecular formula but different structures
Saturated
molecules that have only single carbon-carbon bonds
Unsaturated
molecules that have at least one double or triple carbon-carbon bond
