Properties of Molecules based on its Polarity
Polarity, Solubility, and Miscibility
- is defined as the ability of a solid substance to be dissolved in a given
amount of solvent.
Solubility
- is the ability of the two liquids to combine or mix in all proportions,
creating a homogenous mixture.
Miscibility
general rule of the solubility and miscibility of molecular
compounds:
“like dissolves like” or “like mixes with like”.
Bond Strength and Physical Properties of Covalent Compounds
Intramolecular forces of attraction
Intermolecular forces of attraction (IMFA)
– it is the attractive force that binds atoms
together.
Intramolecular forces of attraction
– it is another type of attractive force
which exists between molecules.
Intermolecular forces of attraction (IMFA)
There are several types of IMFA and below they are arranged from
STRONGEST to WEAKEST.
Ion-dipole
H-bonding
dipole-dipole
dipole-induced dipole

The physical properties of substances:
Boiling point
Melting point -
Surface tension
Viscosity
Vapor pressure
Volatility
- temperature at which the vapor pressure and atmospheric
pressure of a liquid substance are equal.
Boiling point
- temperature at which solid becomes liquid.
Melting point
- energy needed to increase the surface area by a unit
amount;
Surface tension
- the resistance of the liquid to flow
Viscosity
- pressure exerted by a substance in its gaseous state.
Vapor pressure
- measures the rate at which a substance vaporizes
Volatility
