Unit 1 Lesson 8 Flashcards
Intramolecular force
A force that holds atoms or ions together includes ionic bonds, and covalent bonds
Intermolecular forces + examples
Interaction between molecules. Broken when changing by states. Affects boiling/melting point and solubility
London dispersion forces
Dipole dipole
Hydrogen bonding
London dispersion forces
Weak attractive force between all molecules. Caused by the constant movement of electrons in molecules which creates temporary charges. The electrons attract to the positive nuclei of nearby molecules.
What creates stronger London dispersion forces
Bigger molecules create a stronger force
Larger surface area results in a stronger force (linear shapes = stronger force)
Dipole dipole
Strong force between two more more polar molecules. The positive and negative ends of the molecule attract. Dipole dipole force is permanent and stong.
Hydrogen bond
When the positive hydrogen nuclei attract to the lone pairs of electrons from oxygen nitrogen and Florine creating a strong force
