States of Matter

Question 1

intermolecular attraction between two permanent dipoles

Answer 1

dipole-dipole attraction

Question 2

(also, London dispersion force) attraction between two rapidly fluctuating, temporary dipoles; significant only when particles are very close together

Answer 2

dispersion force

Question 3

occurs when exceptionally strong dipoles attract; bonding that exists when hydrogen is bonded to one of the three most electronegative elements (F, O, or N)

Answer 3

hydrogen bonding

Question 4

temporary dipole formed when the electrons of an atom or molecule are distorted by the instantaneous dipole of a neighboring atom or molecule

Answer 4

induced dipole

Question 5

temporary dipole formed when the electrons of an atom or molecule are distorted by the instantaneous dipole of a neighboring atom or molecule
induced dipole
temporary dipole that occurs for a brief moment in time when the electrons of an atom or molecule are distributed asymmetrically

Answer 5

instantaneous dipole

Question 6

noncovalent attractive force between atoms, molecules, and/or ions

Answer 6

intermolecular force

Question 7

measure of the ability of a charge to distort a molecule’s charge distribution (electron cloud)

Answer 7

polarizability

Question 8

attractive or repulsive force between molecules, including dipole-dipole, dipole-induced dipole, and London dispersion forces; does not include forces due to covalent or ionic bonding, or the attraction between ions and molecules

Answer 8

van der Waals force
