Q

factors affecting london forces

A

increases with branches (more points of contact) and number of electrons (more electrons stronger forces)

16
Q

permanent dipole-dipole forces

A

dipole-dipole attractions between polar molecules, stronger
than London forces

17
Q

hydrogen bond

A

formed when a hydrogen bonds to a more electronegative atom (eg N,O,F)

often 180 degrees, responsible for ice being less dense than water + occupies greater volume than water due to the directional nature of hydrogen bonds within the solid structure
