1
Q
Intermolecular forces
A
Weak attractive forces between molecules which determine physical properties
2
Q
Electronegativity
A
Key factor which determines the electron distribution in molecules
3
Q
Bond polarity
A
Covalent bonds can be polar or non-polar. If they have a difference in electronegativity of atleast 0.5-1.6 it will be polar
In non-polar the electron cloud is positioned symmetrical
In polar bonds the electron cloud is skewed towards the nucleus of the more electronegative atom.
