symbols

KEKULE STRUCTURE

17
Q

Associated with any atom that does not exhibit the appropriate number of valence electrons.

A

Formal Charge

18
Q

Measure of the ability of an atom to attract electrons

A

ELECTRONEGATIVITY

19
Q

withdrawal of electrons towards a highly
electronegative atom which causes the formation of
partial charges

A

INDUCTION

20
Q

is a complex interaction that
includes dipole-dipole, as well as orbital interactions
and the transfer of electron density between
molecules.

A

Hydrogen bonding

21
Q

These are the strongest of the IMFs and range from 5 –
25 kJ/mol

A

Hydrogen bonding

22
Q

forces arise from the attraction of
oppositely charged atoms (other than H) in
molecules.

A

Dipole-dipole

23
Q
  • These are generally weaker than H-bonding, ranging
    from about 5-10 kJ/mol.
A

Dipole-Dipole

24
Q

forces arise
from the movement of electrons within a molecule. This natural motion can produce an uneven
distribution of the electrons (polarization of the distribution) resulting in a temporary dipole
moment in the molecule. This will induce the
movement of electrons in adjacent molecules

A

Van der Waals or (London) dispersion

25
Q

forces are very brief and weak, only 2-5 kJ/mol.

A

Van der Waals or (London) dispersion forces

26
Q

A _______ reaction involves the displacement of one
atom or group in a molecule by another atom or group.
