Q

How can covalent bonds be polarised by differences in electronegativity?

A

Electrons are pulled towards the most electronegative atom making a polar bond
Cause a permanent dipole

Q

Explain induced dipole dipole forces

A

Cause all atoms and molecules to attract each other
Temporary dipole when electrons on one side
Induce a dipole in neighbouring molecule

17
Q

Explain hydrogen bonding

A

Only happens when hydrogen is bonded to fluorine, nitrogen or oxygen
Between lone pair of electrons and another molecule

18
Q

What is an ionic bond

A

Electrostatic attraction between two oppositely charge ions
