explains the properties of gases assuming that gas act independently of each other.
Kinetic Molecular Theory
nonbonding forces that exist between molecules
Intermolecular Forces
exists between molecules and influences the physical properties of the substance.
Intermolecular
exists within each molecule and influences the chemical properties of the substance; can be ionic or covalent.
Intramolecular
In terms of attractive forces:
gas < liquid < solid
In terms of movement or collision:
solid < liquid < gas
Strength determines the state of the substance at room temperature meaning IMF
strong IMFs result in liquids and solids and weak IMFs result in gases
Another term for IMF?
Van de Waals Forces
Ion-Dipole
Dipole-Dipole
London Dispersion
Hydrogen Bond
IMF in terms of strongest to weakest:
Ion-Dipole > Hydrogen Bond > Dipole-Dipole > London Dispersion
attracts electrons towards itself in a chemical bond.
Electronegativity
> 1.7
IONIC
0.5 - 1.7
POLAR
0.4 >
NONPOLAR
● If they move with each other, then it is polar.
● If they move against each other, then it is nonpolar.
● If there is a presence of a lone pair, it is polar.
ALWAYS BASE ON MOLECULAR POLARITY
a case in which a dipole can be induced, it also increases with molar mass.
Polarizability
