SG 2.4

Question 1

London dispersion

Answer 1

the weakest intermolecular force

Question 2

Dipole-dipole

Answer 2

attractive forces between the positive end of one polar molecule and the negative end of another polar molecule.

Question 3

Hydrogen bonds

Answer 3

an intermolecular force (IMF) that forms a special type of dipole-dipole attraction when a hydrogen atom bonded to a strongly electronegative atom exists in the vicinity of another electronegative atom with a lone pair of electrons.

Question 4

Determine whether a molecule is polar or nonpolar based on its structure

Answer 4

If the arrangement is symmetrical and the arrows are of equal length, the molecule is nonpolar.

Question 5

Determine what type of intermolecular attractions a particular molecule will be able to form based on its structure

Answer 5

looking at the Lewis structure

Question 6

Determine whether a molecule will be soluble in water based on its structure

Answer 6

Molecules with fewer than 4-5 C atoms per hydrogen bonding group will likely be soluble in water
