4 domains

A

tetrahedral, 109.5 angle

20

21
Q

what does a molecule’s polarity depend on

A

shape and nature of bonds

22
Q

intermolecular forces

A

forces of attraction between molecules

23
Q

types of intermolecular forces

A

dipole-dipole
hydrogen bonds
london dispersion forces

24
Q

dipole-dipole

A

delta+ end of a molecule is attracted to delta- end of another molecule
-strongest intermolecular force
-between polar molecules

25
Q

hydrogen bonds

A

special type of dipole-dipole
- H-F, H-O, H-N
-large electronegativity
-strong dipole with H delta+
-attracted to unshared electron pairs in other molecules

26
Q

london dispersion forces

A

weak intermolecular forces experienced by all atoms and molecules
-electrons constantly in motion
-electron distribution can be uneven
-creates temporary dipoles

27
Q
