Q

Why is it important to know the polarity of a molecule?

22
Q

The boiling point of a liquid is determine by the…

A

strength of its intermolecular forces

23
Q

Stronger intermolecular forces=

A

higher boiling point

24
Q

Intermolecular forces vary in strength and are weaker than

A

covalent intramolecular forces

25
Intermolecular forces : weakest to strongest
London Dispersion Forces Dipole-Dipole force Hydrogen Bond
26
(London Dispersion Forces) E- are in
constant motion and distribution may be uneven
27
(London Dispersion forces) uneven e- distribution creates a...
temporary + and - pole
28
(london dispersion force) Temporary dipole can->
induce a dipole in a nearby atom
29
London Dispersion forces:
intermolecular forces created by the constant motion of e- and temporary dipoles
30
(london dispersion forces) Induced dipoles account for the fact that a nonpolar molecule like oxygen is able to ->
dissolve in water - a polar molecule
31
Dipole-Dipole forces:
the force of attraction between polar molecules (dipole and dipole)
32
Dipole-dipole forces are _____ than London Dispersion forces
stronger
33
Hydrogen bond:
a special type of dipole- dipole force
34
(hydrogen bond) Special type of dipole- dipole force occurs when:
hydrogen bonds with N,O, or F
35
The strength of the hydrogen increases w/:
the degree of electronegativity of the atom bonded to it
